Pros

There's an option to continue onto a separate, though still related study for additional compensation.

Cons

Re-vamping this to make more concise:

I completed this HIT on September 13th, and there was an additional study I could complete after this initial one of $.17. The second one was for $.55. When I tried to submit this HIT, it was giving me a "no feedback provided" error of some sort and regardless how I changed the selections it wouldn't clear. I was given the option to override and submit, so I did. This HIT was rejected afterwards and since then I've made multiple attempts to reach the requestor in hopes of having this rejection reversed. I have not received any response back to any of my politely worded messages, however, have received the $.55 bonus for the second study and a $1.00 bonus on September 27th. I'd much rather have the rejection reversed or a response from this requestor on the why they can't/won't reverse this rejection. I've completed multiple HITs from this requestor before without an issue, so this has been very disappointing. They're not obligated to respond, but it's certainly disappointing for things to play out this way.

TL/DR: If you receive a "no feedback error" when attempting to submit one of their HITs, just return it. I did provide feedback but it didn't register for some reason. This requestor will not respond to any messages nor will they reverse your rejection. If you're cool with receiving bonuses but taking the hit to your approval rating then that's your call. Frankly, it's not worth it and I regret bothering to submit this HIT.

**UPDATE: To my surprise this rejection has been reversed. I received the following response from this requestor:

Hi there,

Apologies for this, a member of the team was managing this, and should have communicated with you directly. I've since reversed the rejection, which was what should have happened after your first message: I apologise sincerely for the error, and appreciate you writing to us.

Warm regards,
Peter
CEO, Mind Ease

Challenging Interactive Game (! earn a bonus payment !) (~40 mins) - $4.20 +0.30 bonus Confirmed!

Fair

Unrated

Approved

$16.84 / hour

00:16:02 / completion time

Pros

Play an interactive game about managing resources

Game is somewhat fun and detailed

Performance based bonus

Cons

There is a LOT of reading with the most infuriating quiz setup. If you miss any of the comprehension questions, you have to reread the instructions and wait at least 30 seconds because of a timed reading page. The study won't even tell you what questions you missed, and tells you to go back to the instructions or leave the study, so there is a chance of getting kicked out without compensation here.

There are timers for every round of the game. There are 45 rounds, and there is at least a 10 second timer for every round, so the game itself is tedious. It's annoying having to wait that long just to submit your choices every time.

$34.18 / hour

Pros

The surveys from Positly can range from trash to fire. This one is in the 'good' range. A good way to tell is if it is like this one and is a semi high value hit. As long as it doesn't have writing it will likely be decent.

No writing in this hit so it was great.

The no code system is kind of neat and works well imo with the optional feedback section at the end of every hit from them.

Cons

The survey layout on these is still a bit annoying and I hate it a bit every time. I still hate the way that they screen hits it is unnecessary but they aren't going to change I guess.

The timer could be longer as well I guess.

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
