Eyewitness Memory - $8.00

Underpaid

Unrated

Approved

$8.38 / hour

00:57:17 / completion time

Pros

The HIT itself is sort of interesting but, definitely very underpaid
Requester's estimate of "one hour to complete" is very accurate. Most of it is timed so, you can't get it done much faster

Cons

Tedious, requires full attention
First, watch a video that is nearly 30 minutes long. It's hard to follow at times because it's black and white, poor lighting, and silent.
Then answer a series of memory question about the video (multiple choice and then click a bubble to rate your confidence)
Then, another timed task! Two fairly challenging Sudoku puzzles with a ten minute timer. (I did not manage to complete both of them and the page advanced automatically at the end of ten minutes)
Next, you find out that you get to LISTEN to a spoken narrative of the video you watched earlier. This is also timed and takes another ten minutes.
After that, you retake the quiz you took earlier. (The quiz becomes easier because the narrative is easier to follow than the grainy b&w movie you spent a half an hour trying to watch).
Then, you think you'd be finished but, NO! More questions requiring a bubble click AND a brief written response (maybe a sentence each). I don't recall specifics because I was rushing at this point, so the HIT wouldn't expire but, I believe there are 8-10 of these questions.
Finally, you land at the demographics page.
I gave this a shot because I had time to kill and the requester only had one previous review. If you enjoy working on tedious tasks that require your full attention for $8 an hour pre-tax, this will be right up your alley. But, make sure you start it right away because it's going to take you an hour and she only provides a 90 minute timer

Advice to Requester

Increase the hourly rate of pay
Consider a longer timer. If a worker accepts this HIT but can't start it almost immediately, there is a good chance this HIT will expire before they complete it.

Eyewitness Memory - $12.00

Unrated

Unrated

Approved

$12.07 / hour

00:59:40 / completion time

Pros

The movie was interesting.

Cons

There is absolutely NO WAY TO GO ANY FASTER! The movie is timed, then you have to do a timed Sudoku, then, timed movie again. Basically, you'll want to kill yourself, but you don't because you've already spent too much time.

Advice to Requester

Don't make it timed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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
