A 15 minutes experiment on learning mechanisms in language - $2.50

Good

Excellent

Approved

$10.95 / hour

00:13:42 / completion time

Pros

So see the right side. The rejection was because there was an issue on thier survey. There were portions that skipped at some point and went really quick which was really weird, so it could have been because of that. Either way, a private hit was made for myself and likely others who were affected. They did go as far as making the HIT before even getting back to me, so when they did, it was there for me already to accept. No additional work was needed on my end.

Cons

UDPATE: See the Pros, but know the reject info below.

rejected for missing attention checks. I guess we shall see what attention checks were missed since the entire survey was an attention check. Reason was for missing them in the directions? Kind of dumb to not just kick a user out if they missed some that early on. The entire survey itself required constant attention since you were learning a new language and to my knowledge, I was getting most of the questions right during the study, including the verbal portion where you had to state what you thought the words meant, which i got right. Either way, I guess I will eat this one, but buyer beware, they will reject if you miss any AC's.

Experiment on learning mechanisms in language, up to 5.5 USD - $3.00 +2.50 bonus Confirmed!

Fair

Unrated

Approved

$14.46 / hour

00:22:49 / completion time

Pros

Not a terribly hard task, but...

Cons

... this was a huge time suck. No way to speed through this as the experiment advances at it's own pace.

Bonus for completion of the last section. Without the bonus, this is underpaid.

Edit: received bonus next day on 9/17.

Private HIT (Syncog, language) - $7.00

Generous

Unrated

Approved

$14.96 / hour

00:28:04 / completion time

Pros

Comp for Learn a small part of a new language study for $7. Excellent requester.

Cons

Study would not submit. Messaged requester who set up this comp and was very apologetic. This language hit was much, much harder than most. I couldn't determine which words meant what.

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
