Title: Python 2 Unicode issues

Some characters in the scraped data cause the scraper to break when using Python 2 (v2.7.3 specifically).

The error is a `UnicodeEncodeError` and can be reliably reproduced by attempting to format a string with the course name of BIOL 951.

Scrape job to reproduce:
`ScrapeJob(letters="B", deep=False, subject_start=1, subject_end=2, course_start=137)`

Details:
```
