The Use of Expert Evidence for Complex Decision-Making - $2.50 +1.50 bonus Confirmed!

Fair

Excellent

Approved

$8.56 / hour

00:28:02 / completion time

Pros

Update: I sent an email to the requester after completing the hit stating the possibility of the time estimation being incorrect and that the timed pages, questions per page, etc. increase the completion time. They replied roughly 20 minutes later (much appreciated) with a professional and apologetic letter stating there was an error with the stated time and that they appreciated their dedicated workers and would set up a bonus hit for $1.50. I'm impressed with with this requester's communication and how they've fairly compensated my work.

Cons

-A lot of reading, all of which is on timed pages
-Several one-question pages
-Questions after demographics
-Sliders and more sliders
-Tedious, difficult to stay engaged
-No progress bar
-15 minute estimation by requester seems to be inaccurate judging from reviews here and on other platforms (requester communicated the estimation was in error)
-Link has to be modified to work (remove worker ID). Requester has a history of this issue and states the workaround in the hit frame

Expertise in Critical Thinking III 2021 - $8.00

Good

Unrated

Approved

$28.94 / hour

00:16:35 / completion time

Pros

-This might seem like you have to download an app, but you can do it in-browser if you have a higher version of Windows, no downloading required.
-34 questions. You're given 45 min for them, but you can finish as soon as you are done.
-If you read quickly, then you can finish this much more quickly than 45 min. It took me ~15 min, as a very quick reader.
-Score given at end. Some sections are very easy to get a perfect 100 on.

Cons

-Significant reading.
-34 written scenarios.
-Logic.
-Deduction.

Evaluating an aid for complex decision making - $8.00

Unrated

Unrated

Approved

$11.57 / hour

00:41:29 / completion time

Pros

There are two versions of this HIT, one where you have to use a decision making tool and one without. The one I did was without and this version does not warrant all negative reviews. Bit of reading then writing, no big deal. If you go straight to reading about the case with the box for writing your opinion I'd say you're good to go.

Cons

I guess the other version is a pain.

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
