Pros
Cons
-10-minute estimate is too low. I was booted before I'd even done the main task, and it has two parts. This is probably more like 15-20 minutes.-The instructions are on the same page as the CCS but 3 of the 4 CCs require math. I really thought I understood the instructions and I used a calculator but one of the questions didn't have the answer choice I got, which was a bad sign. I did the best I could but the next page after the CCs said the survey was over; there was nothing about my answers but I suspect I missed one or more of the CCs. That's my biggest problem with this; because of the setup, and because I qualified (I wish I hadn't), I had to do the survey. But for all the time I spent I get a quarter.
-This is a real-time multi-person hit (it was scheduled; I got an email about it). I think it was set up this way because someone thought it would be easier to coordinate. I really doubt that, because it dropped me out of my group, and it also wasn't fair to me, and it might not be to others as well.
Advice to Requester
The qualifier should be in a separate hit from the survey. Otherwise you may be paying people nowhere near what they should be getting for their time. And that will decrease participation in future hits. Once you get your qualified people schedule the main survey. And stop relying on potential - but not guaranteed - bonuses to attract participants.EsaEinai Unreliably Fast

Pros
Group decision study where you are each given tokens and decide how much to share. Sharing increases the amount of tokens, and thus increases the amount of bonus. Some details shared between each decision session. Fast, generous bonus.Cons
At first I thought it stopped working because it took so long for the first session to complete/load (over 5 minutes). But then it started working quickly after that.EsaEinai Unreliably Fast

Pros
First part was short demographic survey (paid). If qualified, you get to do another part with a few timed multiple choice questions for extra flat fee and possible bonus on top of that based on their instructions. Articles provided for reading to help answer the questions.Cons
