Math Skills Exercise #5 - $100 bonus available! - $3.00

Generous

Acceptable

Pending

$27.48 / hour

00:06:33 / completion time

Pros

Great hourly.
5 HITs were released and you're allowed to do one of each.
Easy math questions
Chance of a $100 bonus
Only 10 math questions per HIT

Cons

Slim chance of winning the $100 bonus.
Math.
An error message forced me to restart #1 repeatedly. I must have filled out the test halfway five times, with varying questions each time, before finally giving up and returning the HIT when the timer almost ran out. Emailing the helpdesk recommended by the error message is useless as they only reply telling you to email the requester via email mturk@pdri.com, which I did as well. I'll update communication after they've had sufficient time to reply.
Update: They replied within a couple of hours and offered to compensate me if I submitted the HIT, which was nice of them but not helpful since I told them I had already returned it. So 50/50 on communication.

Respond to Work Scenarios - Earn $25 - $25.00

Generous

Unrated

Pending

$38.69 / hour

00:38:46 / completion time

Pros

- $25 base pay
- Incredibly generous hourly
- Actually kind of fun and interesting. A little bit of a roleplaying type game where you are responding to various office scenarios, reading emails, etc.

Cons

- The voices for some of the videos go from being normal to VERY low, so you have to adjust your volume back and forth - this isn't even a serious criticism just something to be aware of if you're like me working within your office.

- The end involves a lot of written feedback, which I didn't have much to say. I would have taken notes throughout had I been aware.

Math Skills Exercise #5 - $100 bonus available! - $3.00

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$33.96 / hour

00:05:18 / completion time

Pros

Interesting two part math-based HIT that can quickly be completed based upon your competency in mathematics. Part 1: is your mTurk Worker ID and some general demographic questions. Part 2: you are presented with a series of 10 math questions.

Possibility of $100 bonus being randomly awarded to one worker that scores well on the assessment.

Cons

You have to sign a binding agreement with the United States Office of Personnel Management (OPM). The HIT states "You will be presented with language at the end of each part that reference Federal employment. You can disregard that language." However it's still the Federal Government.

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
