Courier Online - $10.00

Fair

Unrated

Approved

$11.86 / hour

00:50:36 / completion time

Pros

A smidge faster than the 60 minute estimate, though they say in game that YMMV on overall time.

4 hour HIT timer.

Cons

Buggy. Made for an in person study using a controller, but adapted for PC. Don't go full screen, or it gets laggy real fast.

Lonnnng. Instructional video followed by main task. I think there were 5 rounds with 12 deliveries per round. Then two recollection events after each round which didn't seem to have any set timer, so you just end up waiting or pressing keys to try to advance to the next recollection event/next round (but doing this doesn't help).

Tedious. You are basically a bike courier randomly delivering items to places in a game. The problem is, you have to move everywhere with your arrow keys. I am sure they could have achieved similar results from a different setup.

Word Recall Memory Experiment (50-60 minutes) - $7.50

Fair

Unrated

Approved

$8.98 / hour

00:50:06 / completion time

Pros

- Does have breaks built in every ~3min if you want to use them, but also easy to go straight through
- Kind of fun if you enjoy memorization
- Not a bad hit for a weekend, but probably less so during more active times
- 2.5 hour timer, so plenty of time to fit it in

Cons

- The entire thing is timed so you really can't go more than +/- 2 min off this time
- Requires memorization, writing (not paragraphs or anything, just relating words you remember), listening to audio, and a quiet block of ~50min
- Tedious or at least repetitive

Word Memory Experiment (50-60 minutes) - $7.50

Unrated

Unrated

Approved

$8.67 / hour

00:51:54 / completion time

Pros

money?

Cons

Are you a sadist? Do you hate your life? Then if so, come on down and do this hit. Its the most convoluted hit I have seen in YEARS, and I guarantee you will want to die, I certainly did.

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
