Evaluate correctness of news summary sentences - $0.12 +0.05 bonus Confirmed!

Generous

Unacceptable

Approved

$55.64 / hour

00:00:11 / completion time

Pros

-If you're consistent, you get a bonus.
-The block on their record seems to be the Requester trying out how to block people from doing more after 60 hits, not permablock them. They have a new qualifier to do it now. Some batches allow 100.
-If they relist the hit, very often, you can do more than 60, since the batch ID is different.
-The important phrases are shaded a darker green.
-Mostly quick approval.

Cons

-If you get an inconsistent summary, you have to write 5-10 words explanation, and will take longer
-Some articles are long, with key points throughout.
-They will SPAM your email with bonuses. Check spam folder if you haven't gotten anything.
-Blocks and unpaid bonuses reported.
-Some batches and bonuses sit unpaid forever.
-There are throttles. If you speed too much, they will just let your entire batch go to automatic approval (30 days), and you get no bonus.

Pros

leaving this here since I can't review the main batch...

Cons

since the requester revoked my qual, after i'd done a a couple thousand of these over the course of a month or so. they were very communicative at first and paid the stated bonus within a week or so normally for every hit completed that matched their requirements stated in the HIT description (which fluctuate slightly from batch to batch). however, after doing a several hundred one night back in december they let them all go to 30 day AA, disqual'd me, and suddenly forgot how to e-mail. no response after several contact attempts. by my reckoning they owe'd me at least $25-30 in bonuses off that batch. be wary of these folks.

Decide if a topic describes a short article - $0.05 +0.20 bonus

Generous

Unacceptable

Pending

$21.95 / hour

00:00:41 / completion time

Pros

These are way underpaid, even if they include a 5 cent bonus, they still are not worth the time if you are actually putting any effort into the task.

EDIT: These pay a 20c bonus. Worth the time now!

Cons

Got my qual removed after 2 days due to "quality control standards". I have 50,000+ hits and 58 rejections in total, and take pride in doing accurate work. Some of the labels are up for a bit of interpretation, so you may get your qual dropped if they aren't in line with what the requester was thinking.

Advice to Requester

I have loved FlyingFish HITS in the past, but improvements can be made. Provide more specific instructions, a longer time to review the HIT so that we aren't forced into skimming through everything in hopes of completing the tasks in time, and communicate pay structure better if you want to have better quality work from us. Also, reply to messages sent by turkers because it usually means the worker is going above and beyond to try to give you quality work, and when you don't respond, it sends the message that you really just don't care. Let us give you your money's worth instead of just blocking good workers without any attempt at providing feedback.

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
