Pros

I liked this HIT. It was pretty fun. Much of it was relaxed and just waiting for the timer to elapse. So a lot of down time to dick around and do other stuff if you want I suppose.

Cons

It's an "idea generation" survey - "think of creative uses of a brick" but with a twist.
You have 4 minutes to come up with 6 uses for an everyday object - and this is way too long. So much of the time is spent just waiting for the timer to go to the next round.

5 rounds each of thinking of creative uses, reading other uses, coming up with additional uses after getting inspiration from other users, and then grading novelty of other peoples ideas.

You can't do it much quicker, due to the timed nature of the HIT.

Pros

I actually really enjoyed this hit.

Don't let the completion time intimidate you. This was a very easy, passive, and low effort task. It's a brainstorming task and you have to come up with alternative uses for everyday objects. There are 5 parts/objects and each part has 2, ~3 minutes timed sections, followed by a quick untimed rating section where you rate other participants suggestions. You repeat this 5 times and then complete a brief survey.

It only asks you to list a minimum of four alternative uses and up to six. Very simple and most of your time will likely be spent waiting on the timer.

Cons

Pros

task is very simple and the most time consuming part is likely the waiting for the timer to finish to proceed to the next round.
5 tasks - 3 parts to each task - 1st part is 4 min. timed - 2nd part is 2 min - and 3rd part isn't timed
very very short exit survey after tasks are completed

Cons

I understand the mandatory timers before progressing, but the first one could be just a bit shorter
light writing after each task

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
