*Update 2*
AVOID THIS REQUESTER, ITS BEEN 3 DAYS NOW AND NO RESPONSE. BLATANTLY IGNORING ME, I JUST WANT TO BE PAID FOR MY WORK THAT I DID..ITS ONLY FAIR AND NOT MY PROBLEM YOU HAVE ERRORS!!!!!!!!!!

*Update 1*
BEWARE, unfair rejection with this as the reasoning: "Sorry for data collection error a while ago; you can still restart another trial"

I received no errors of any form, everything seemed great on my end, I'll update if this is resolved as I did message the requester about it.

"Anemone": Judge sentences as good or bad! - $6.00

Fair

$11.95 / hour

00:30:08 / completion time

Pros

Cons

This was pretty brutal, and I don't mind this type of hit. You have to rate a ton of sentences as acceptable or not, and each sentence is presented one word at a time. This isn't one where you click the space bar to advance the next word either, the words advance automatically, so you really can't go any faster. Requires constant attention. Monotonous and repetitive. Pay is just okay.

"Slump": Judge English sentences as good or bad! - $2.00

Good

Unrated

Approved

$15.62 / hour

00:07:41 / completion time

Pros

It feels like I'm grading an English test with much lower standards than I had back in school.

You just have to follow their "very relaxed" set of rules and grade 32 sentences, although some of them really push the boundaries of being a coherent sentence.

Same day approval!

Cons

Just having to remember and apply their rules, since the normal rules of grammar don't apply here.

Remember the sentence you're reading, some of the sentences will have a question immediately afterwards about what the sentence said.

Approval Tracking

Wage Aggregate Tracking

This is fairly straightforward: we take the completion time & the reward amount (where available) and calculate the average hourly rate for the task. We then apply that number to a simple range based on US minimum wage standards to color-code the data for easy to digest numerical data.

Color Pay Range (Hourly) Explanation
RED < $7.25 / hr Hourly averages below US Federal minimum wage
ORANGE $7.25 - $10.00 / hr Hourly averages between Federal & highest statewide (CA) minimum wages.
GREEN > $10.00 / hr Hourly averages above all US minimum wage standards

Reward Sentiment

Not all HITs are created equal. Sometimes an hourly wage doesn't convey the full story of a HIT's true worth, so we encourage workers to give their opinion on the overall pay of the task. Was it $8/hr to rate pictures of puppies? A worker could justifiably bump up the rating a bit for something so adorable. 10 hours locked in Inquisit? Even for $10/hr many workers would appreciate the heads up on such a task. The Pay Sentiment rating helps connect workers beyond the hard data.

Icon Rating Suggested Guidelines
Underpaid 1 / 5
  • Very low or no pay
  • Frustrating work experience
  • Inadequate instructions
Low 2 / 5
  • Below US min-wage ($7.25/hr)
  • No redeeming qualities to make up for pay
Fair 3 / 5
  • Minimum wages for task (consider SE taxes!)
  • Work experience offers nothing to tip the scales in a positive or negative direction
Good 4 / 5
  • Pay is above minimum wage, or compensates better than average for the level of effort required.
  • The overall work experience makes up for borderline wages
Generous 5 / 5
  • Pay is exceptional.
  • Interesting, engaging work or work environment
  • Concise instructions, well designed HIT.

Communication Ratings

Communication is an underrated aspect of mTurk. Clear, concise directions. A fast response to a clarification question or a resolution to a workflow suggestion can all be valuable aspects of interaction between Requesters & Workers and its worth keeping track of. Plus everyone enjoys the peace of mind knowing that if something does go wrong there will be an actual human getting back to you to solve the issue.

Icon Rating Suggested Guidelines
Unacceptable 1 / 5
  • No response at all
  • Rude response without a resolution
Poor 2 / 5
  • Responsive, but unhelpful
  • Required IRB or extra intervention
Acceptable 3 / 5
  • Responded in a reasonable timeframe
  • Resolves issues to a minimum level of satisfaction.
Good 4 / 5
  • Prompt Response
  • Positive resolution
Excellent 5 / 5
  • Prompt response time
  • Friendly & Professional
  • Helpful / Solved Issues
  • Interacts within the community

Approval Time Tracking

This rating is strictly for approval times. Let's face it, no one wants to mix approval time ratings with how fast a Requester rejects a HIT, so we've saved rejection flags for another category. This provides a more straightforward way to know about how long your HIT might sit pending before paying out. The default auto-approval for most MTurk tasks is 3 days, the maximum is 30 days. We've tried to base our ratings around those data-points.

Icon Rating Approval Time
Very Slow 1 / 5 Over 2 weeks
Slow 2 / 5 ~1 - 2 Weeks
Average 3 / 5 ~3 - 7 Days
Fast 4 / 5 ~1 - 3 Days
Very Fast 5 / 5 ~24 hours or less
