Pros
noneCons
One of the most poorly set up HITs I've ever done. 86 trials. Have to write a pointless (because the info you write is in front of your for the entire round) sentence for each one. Following that, six slider questions....each on its own page, naturally.Promise of bonus of up to $5 is misleading. As well, this thing seems designed to negatively affect bonus at the end. (I had a $2 bonus until the final 10 or so trials...then, suddenly, each round went so poorly (not in my favor) that I lost it all. So, I wasted roughly 40 minutes on tedious, redundant, all-consuming crap for $5 and no bonus.
Following all of that, there were a few more pages of questions plus demographics.
Advice to Requester
Format your HIT better. Had you put all of the questions for each trial on the same page, this would be much more manageable.As well, how about offering a fair base payment? A bonus (particularly one that depends entirely on chance) rarely works in favor of turkers...but, you probably already know that, right?. So, pay a decent hourly wage (remember, YOU stated that this HIT would take 1.5 HOURS) and make the bonus an actual bonus, even if it's just a small one.

Pros
None really. Something to do if you have nothing else in your queue.Cons
Seems the researcher stuck with the old version of this particular hit.68 trials. Five sliders, one bubble and one writing prompt EACH. There are additional questions even after the experiment. Possibility of a bonus up to $5 which definitely will not be happening because there are too many trials. You do not earn the bonus in this hit but can only lose from what is initially given. And the losing option is so high that you're doomed from the start. Being risk-averse will get you a whopping $1 bonus. I was short by 120 points from getting $2. Also, this hit used to pay $1 for every 1000 points over 6640. Now it's a $1 for every 2000 over.

Fun (I like probablityi, but low pay.Cons
Said you could get up to $5 bonus and this is absolutely impossible. If you ended with a certain number of points above 6640 you are to get a bonus of $1 yet at the end it said I had no bonus and my score was 7250. Requester has been contacted.Updated with requester's response: " We agree that the payment is too low. It is too late to change the payment amount for this study (including batches in near future) as that would introduce inconsistencies in our methods, but we will carefully reconsider the payment amount for future studies."
They could simply bonus people more as other requesters do when they realize pay is too low.
