Computer Performance User Study - $3.00

Good

Unrated

Approved

$16.54 / hour

00:10:53 / completion time

Pros

3 dollars a day to let a program run in the background of your computer. You get to decide how long it runs--from a minimum of 24 hours(3 dollars) to several weeks(~140 dollars).
Requester seems to be legitimate.

Cons

Have to download a program.
New requester.
Program deliberately slows down computer performance by 30%
Definitely taking a risk with this one--will update with results.

Computer Performance User Study - $2.00 +22.50 bonus Confirmed!

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$ / hour

00:00:00 / completion time

Pros

Should get $4.50 per 24 hours of slowdown for each of the next 7 days. The amount per day varies from $0 - $7.50 per 24 hours - randomly chosen.
• I noticed zero slowdown.
• The time spent the first day was about 6 mins. Each day I "re-up'd" which took under 1 min.
• Bonus was paid a week after the conclusion.

Cons

Download a program that slows down the computer by 10% - they want to see whether I value speed or money more. (I noticed no slowdown.)
• I was only able to get 5 days out of this - 2 of the days were really glitchy in submitting my 24 hour authorization, so only 5 of the 7 days were paid.

Computer Performance User Study - $2.00

Low

Unrated

Approved

$11.37 / hour

00:10:33 / completion time

Pros

super sketchy. Asked for download on "main computer" lol definitely not getting that

Cons

Could be mining crypto or something.. task said this will slow down my computer but I have it running on a virtual network

Advice to Requester

you need to pay more or all the data you will get is going to 100% be bogus.. 10 dollars to keep a software running on our "main" computer isn't going to cut it. Best you can get from me is a virtual network there is NO WAY this will be run on my main computer which I use for banking and all that good stuff lmao

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
