Make Predictions (~ 60 minutes) - $6.00 +8.00 bonus Confirmed!

Good

Unrated

Approved

$19.91 / hour

00:42:11 / completion time

Pros

I know this can be done much faster I just took my time with this one - starts with a couple of pages of questions - there are a few pages of writing to read about the hit and the scenario that you play - work through the practice which includes 15 different predictions that you have to make to get used to the task - couple of pages of questions - main task is split in 2 sections - 5 rounds on each section - bonus is determined on the predictions that you make - ends with a couple of bubble pages and demographics

Computer Code Evaluation - ONLY COMPUTER PROGRAMMERS CAN PARTICIPATE(~ 60 minutes) - $10.00

Generous

Unrated

Pending

$33.18 / hour

00:18:05 / completion time

Pros

Some short personality questions (~5 min of personality questions) then 15-20 minutes of multi choice/code summary with no min required characters for the writing section.

Cons

6 mainly huge blocks of java code you are supposed to look over and for each one answer a few multi choice questions and then write a summary of what you think the program is trying/used for. There is no minimum required writing for the code summary, but they make it pretty clear if you just BS or don't take it seriously they will reject. So if you are worried about rejections, the subjective nature of the grading may be a cause for concern.

Displaying Asset Degradations in Swarms(~ 30 minutes) - $3.00 +2.80 bonus Confirmed!

Good

Unrated

Approved

$15.14 / hour

00:22:59 / completion time

Pros

9/22: We made a mistake in estimating the time it would take to complete the HIT, so we are awarding an additional $2 to make up for the difference.
hourly without this was $7.83/hr

Cons

Everything... extremely long tutorial (over half the time it took to do the entire HIT), the bonus isn't disclosed at the end, and it's hard to get anyway because you have to get your guesses right within a narrow parameter. Maybe this is easier for people who can perceive small state changes, but that person isn't me. And the code at the end was formatted strangely.

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
