Pros

Seems easy

Cons

But it's not easy. It's a lie. Doing this HIT will leave you in between a rock and hard place. You should "Decide if the meaning of two pieces of text is the same." Seems easy until you start doing it and realize all the text is in broken garbage English. I use the term "English" loosely. He then states that you must do at LEAST 80 HITs and have >%40 answers correct, or they ALL get rejected.

I wish I read that part first because I did 9 until I realized it was a massive risk to continue due to the poor English and potential of getting rejected because he sucks at English. I quit after 9, knowing full well those 9 could get rejected. I figured that was the lesser of 2 evils, given how the potential for 80 rejections is a possibility.

Advice to Requester

Please change your dumb policy to do at least 80 HITs, have >40% correct, or you reject ALL of them. That is completely unfair and unprofessional. The least you could do is use proper English to ensure people can undestand. I myself quit because I was worried YOUR poor English writting would result in me picking the wrong answer anyways. I quit after 9 as the lesser of 2 evils. Still, completely unacceptable policy and you don't deserve to have any further business done on this platform.

$11.55 / hour

Pros

11 questions per hit to answer about who is being referenced in questions
edit: req responded after a second email 24 hours later. they have a threshold that automatically rejects all hits for quality. they are looking into my submissions manually.
edit 2: they manually reviewed and overturned 18/23 rejections. could not comment on what I did wrong however so I likely wouldn't try more of their assignments in the future

Cons

all 23 were rejected for "low quality on control questions." Contacted requester for more information.

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
