Cons

This is one of the worst HITs I've ever done in my life

Every other question is an incredibly annoying AC in the format of "Answer X for X, and then answer X for the next one, and then the last one answer X and the third question you should answer X" - there were literally dozens of these. Dozens. Incredibly annoying.

Some of the ACs were actually not relevant to the question at hand - so you had to guess what they even wanted you to put.

Some of the tweets were very subjective and likely reject bait.

The whole thing is reject-bait.

One of the worst surveys I've ever done in my life.

Pros

Nothing.

Cons

Where do I start?

- First 5 minutes was math and problem solving.
- About 10 minutes on reading the instruction. A 5 minute optional video is presented, but at the end and covers what you just read. Would have liked to see that at the top of the page...
- 10 - 15 minutes trying to answer the quiz. Had to keep going back to the instructions because the interface of this tool is not user friendly by any means. Quiz asked questions that were not covered in the instructions so had to do some guess work.
- 15 minutes for main task and questions. Took my time to make sure I checked and double checked everything. Again, interface for the tool was not user friendly.
- 5 minutes for questions, demographics and feedback.

Advice to Requester

Survey needs to be broken up into digestible segments. Pay need to reflect the effort. Even though I managed to do this in 50 minutes, the amount of work and mental effort justifies at least double the compensation.

Unrated

Approved

$8.08 / hour

Pros

Cons

Questions are convoluted in the way they are written. One or two questions per page requires much more clicking. Vertically formatted answers necessitate more scrolling and the unnecessary use of extra webpage real estate. Lots of reading. Back buttons included require extra clicks to tab through again. All in All, study format could be setup much better than it is presently. Energy drain to try and slog through it makes the Pay Low.

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
