Pending

$7.06 / hour

00:04:15 / completion time

Pros

EDIT: Were pretty decent fillers/ batch work if the ad length wasn't too long. Changing time to 4:15 though cause that's probably a more proper average time across the longer and shorter ads to go through.

Cons

Highly variable based on length of original text.
Did a bunch of these yesterday and received 1 rejection, which has me a little worried (since I have so many pending), so I am waiting to hear back from the requester. EDIT: talked to requester who said he reversed the reject, but still showing as rejected. Might be mturk being slow on reversing rejections, since I've had that happen before.
I talked to the requester a while back via several emails and clarified some things on the task, so am a little surprised I got a rejection, but did quite a few, so hopefully just a random reject.

Advice to Requester

Please update the instructions based on our discussions. Some things to clarify:

- page numbers: you said these were optional when we spoke. Does this include the codes at the end of a lot of the texts (ex. 54tf, jy1-4)?
-text before and after the main article/ section: again, you said these were optional when we spoke.
-misspellings: you said to leave them in.
-hyphens: you said for hyphens that should remain, a space before/ after was optional. Also, you said to keep "naturally" hyphenated words (not hyphenated due to the end of a line, but how they should be written).
-You never updated your good example btw. Based on our discussions, you said higher lines should be transcribed first, so the bottom part of your good example is actually transcribed incorrectly.

That's all I can think of now, but please update the instructions to include these points or any other notes you may have. I am thinking my rejection was due to one of the above. Please also make sure if someone else is approving our work that they are aware of the above. And please get back to me about that rejection. Thanks.

Approved

$6.00 / hour

00:03:00 / completion time

Pros

None really. Maybe good filler work?

Cons

Long tutorial to watch. Underpaid in general.
Amount of work varies from task to task, so shorter ones, if you're lucky might take 2:15, but longer ones could easily push 4-5 minutes.
Enjoyed working on this requester's transcription tasks, but these are just too underpaid to work on, even if you cherry pick.
Hits are slow to load, even though there are no images in this one. Wonder why. The transcription ones were too, but those had images, so it made sense.

Advice to Requester

Please pay fairly.

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
