  • HIT Rejected

Pros

I don't know why I even did these (I did about 10). They rejected one of my HITs with the feedback: "We validated your HIT and found that 'Model number' is not labelled. The 'Model number' of the product is: 'TipSet10-M11-CL-MEE'".

However, (as I explained to them), when I Googled "TipSet10-M11-CL-MEE", the first search result is the relevant page. Here is a screenshot of the page (http://prntscr.com/lcgczd) -- this is not a product page. The page says, "NOT FOUND/The page you were looking for appears to have been moved, deleted or does not exist." The URL is http://www.meeaudio.com/TipSet10-M11-CL-MEE/

I will update this review if the requester responds/ reverses my rejection; I'm just peeved because I have not received a rejection this year. I'm okay with a rejection (if I messed up), but in this case, I did not mess up. (I can't get a model number from a page if the page is not available).

These would be good filler HITs, but I won't be doing more of these after receiving an unwarranted rejection.

FWIW, they did approve the other HITs which I submitted.

EDIT 12/6: Requester never responded to my message.

Also, I just noticed that now they want you to do 9x the work for $.03! (Find info for 9 products.)

Cons

Advice to Requester

1.) When YOU make a mistake, fix it.

2.) Don't post work if you cannot or will not pay a fair wage

3.) Respond to messages from workers.

Pros

There's a lot of HITs but only some of the pages actually load, maybe that "is" a good thing.

Cons

Where to start, I labelled the correct Product Name just like the HIT requested.
The requester promptly REJECTED my work and tried to tell me the correct product name EXCEPT, he also included the PART NUMBER as part of the product name and that's completely wrong.
If he wanted the Product Name AND the SKU number he could have said that in the HIT request, he didn't, it only said product name.

I should have paid attention to the many negative comments, they were right, now I have a REJECTION and didn't get the 4 cents for all this trouble.

Need I say more? STAY AWAY! The rejection isn't worth it.

Advice to Requester

Fire your researcher! They clearly cannot read OR comprehend the difference between a Product Name and a Part Number or SKU. Figure-out how to use a search engine, you'll see that I'm right and you're wrong, the part number is not a part of the product name.

Pros

Pretty much the only good I can say is do them on a Sunday when it's slow on MTurk.

Cons

1. Datamining HIT on a pre-CSS webpage, navigation is awkward and you can't type in the data yourself. You have to double-click and it auto-selects what is copied. You can then do a second level highlighting.
2. Slow, no way to determine your progress of how far you've worked or how much work you have left.
3. Asks you to double check and verify you're mining the correct thing on EVERY submit. I think I had 6 or 8 product inquiries with 6 different points to datamine,

Advice to Requester

The verifying slows the HIT down. After the first item, I've got an idea of what I have to do. You go above & beyond explaining it, and all this verifying along the way becomes tedious & annoying, especially scouring through a nearly raw & almost formatless HTML page. If I saw your HIT again, I'd be hesitant to repeat the work for you.

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
