Solve an Analysis Problem - $16.00

Generous

Excellent

Pending

$16.55 / hour

00:58:00 / completion time

Pros

- Academic requester (goes by Trace Project now but still the same thing) and the task is in line with that.
- Research oriented task, not a typical survey. Sort of like a short college assignment.
- Pays pretty well
- If you ever run into an issue with the HIT, the requester is great with helping you solve things

Cons

Completely forgot that after the long task, they hit you with a "20-minute survey" after before you get the code. It takes more like 10 minutes not 20, but it's still a pain after such a long task.

Solve Analysis Problems - Longitudinal Study - $16.00

Generous

Unrated

Pending

$21.29 / hour

00:45:06 / completion time

Pros

Seems to be pretty generous pay assuming they are not rejection happy, there will also be potential 16 dollar follow ups and bonuses for completing all of them.

Cons

The structure of the hit is essentially an open ended couple of questions where you are supposed to take a dump of information and write about what you "find" in these documents. It's not 100 percent clear exactly how much or what conclusions you are supposed to draw maybe that is by design. Hit's like these make me glad I have a large buffer for rejections.

Solve an Analysis Problem - $16.00

Fair

Unrated

Pending

$10.63 / hour

01:30:21 / completion time

Pros

It was $16 and the hourly was decent.

Cons

The task itself was sort of frustrating and I was often wondering what they wanted me to do. Information was repeated a lot and a lot of time was wasted that way by either them asking repeat questions or me having to answers those questions with the same information I already wrote. The HIT itself did not seem fully fleshed out and had the pay been higher I might have enjoyed it but by the end I was just wishing it would be over with. There was a lot of writing involved here. I did not like this one.

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
