Pros

This is the actual task that you took a 2 part qualification test for.

You had to download a game about learning some Chinese vocabulary. The game was interactive, and it simulated a level where you had to process food orders as a chef. The game was made in Unity, and it was a bit bare bones, but it was a beta, so it was expected to be a bit bare.

The task consisted of you recording yourself playing through the whole game to completion while you voiced your thoughts aloud. The game is somewhat hard, as you have to do a bit of trial and error to learn the Chinese vocabulary, and it gets progressively harder, but it is not too boring. The game takes around 10-20 minutes to complete, but if you're familiar with Chinese, it will take about 5.

After recording, you upload your video files, give feedback about the game, and take a comprehension test of the Chinese vocabulary you just learned. The pay for this entire study was pretty good, especially for the qualification tests, but the actual task had lower hourly wages than the qualification test which doesn't really make much sense in my eyes.

Cons

The entire task is a bit demanding, and completion time can vary based on game setup and performance, computer and internet speeds, and how fast you can answer the questions after the game.

The game itself is confusing if you don't know what you're doing, and it will take a while to learn how everything works, as the developers only give you the keybinds for instructions on how to play.

Unrated

Approved

$90.00 / hour

00:05:30 / completion time

Pros

You had to download a Unity game, record yourself playing it while voicing your thoughts on it for 10-30 seconds, then upload the video file and give feedback or advice on the task itself.

I only took this long because I futzed around with recording options to make sure my video file came out right, but it can be done pretty quickly.

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
