$11.75 bonus for writing an argumentative essay and completing a set of typing tasks and a vocabulary test - $0.25 +11.75 bonus

Pros
Cons
• Writing (30 minute timed high-school-essay-esque task requiring at least 3 paragraphs and 200 words)• Cannot leave the writing page even if you finish before the 30 minutes (It only took me about 10, so I played around on my phone for the remainder.)
• It gets pissy if you go "inactive" (i.e. do not click or write for more than two minutes), so be sure to click every so often if you do finish early and do something off-computer.
• Majority of the payment ($11.75) is as a bonus and it can be taken away if they detect "plagiarism" in your essay. Maybe avoid if you have a low risk tolerance or if there is anything better to do.

Pros
*Bonus paid in full on 6/6writing this assuming the bonus pays, obviously, but its not that bad of a study overall
initial task is a simple typing exercise
essay timer is probably 10 minutes too long, I comfortably typed and edited a pretty lengthy essay in around 20 minutes
post-essay task is very quick (~1m)
Cons
forces you to stay on the essay page for the full 30 minutes with threat of reducing your bonus (I went to spellcheck something and got a popup)

Pros
Demographics, followed by several typing tasks. Instructions, followed by timed writing task. Word association task at the end.Edit: received bonus on 3/9.
Cons
Writing. Unnecessarily lonnng 30 minute timer for writing task, though the task only requires 3 paragraphs totaling 200 words. Threatens bonus if you are not active, or on the page. I tabbed off for a second and got a warning, so have everything setup before starting this.
