[20 Minute Test] Video Quality Test - $3.00

Good

Unrated

Approved

$20.45 / hour

00:08:48 / completion time

Pros

The videos played and loaded for me much faster than they usually do. This may vary depending on internet speed though. I have pretty fast internet, and my ping is usually in the 4-10ms range.

Cons

For whatever reason, I had to adjust my screens resolution in order to proceed this time. Not really a big deal, but if you're getting a message saying that you can't proceed because your screen resolution doesn't meet their requirements, just go into your display settings and try changing it to the lowest display resolution your system will allow.

[20 Minute Test] Video Quality Test - $3.00

Fair

Unrated

Approved

$9.16 / hour

00:19:39 / completion time

Pros

Still in the "fair" range by this criterion but I'll include my thoughts in the "Cons".

Cons

This batch requires more work than previous batches I've completed for this requester. This batch requires labeling or a type of "annotation" now along with rating video quality. No increase in pay despite adding more work. Between the initial loading time for the videos and the additional work, this isn't as well paying as previous batches.

Advice to Requester

Increase pay if you want labeling done as well. You use to pay the same amount for just rating the video quality.

[20 Minute Test] Video Quality Test - $3.00

Good

Unrated

Approved

$14.38 / hour

00:12:31 / completion time

Pros

- Reliable requester that's been around for years
- Well designed HIT and there's a safeguard in place if you need to relaunch the HIT and lost the space to insert the code

Cons

Be careful on # of slides with this requester. Once upon a time it was 30 at most. Recently been 40. Today 49. A while ago out of nowhere a few were 99. Never a pay increase. Make sure you look at the number of slides on the progress bar before you do too many.

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
