Unrated

Approved

$21.13 / hour

00:03:33 / completion time

Pros

-Avoid unless you're a prolific writer-these will just waste your time.

-If you can write very quickly and think creatively, these might be fine.
Some of these are okay hourly, but they will end automatically if you don't write enough or fail the attention check, and that wrecks hourly.

-These used to be way better-this new version is 8-10 sentences and attention check.

-You might learn about something new and nerdy.

-I did 10 for science.

Cons

91% approval and going down.
-Attention check. It can be buggy, and you don't know if you got it right.
-They added an auto screen-out if you don't enter enough information in the 2-3 sentence box or fail their poorly designed attention check. Apparently, hyphens and spaces are letters now.
It's a bad feeling, being screened out after writing 10 sentences, and being told they are still too short. The HIT just ends abruptly, erasing all your work.

$58.70 / hour

Pros

- Take three (total) screenshots 35 minutes apart, and upload them to imgur, couldn't be easier. Nothing shady, no private information revealed.

- Introduced me to this neat website: http://e.ggtimer.com/35minutes

Cons

- You have to wait 35 minutes twice, so it technically takes over an hour to do this, but I paused the hit timer (cool feature, Chris) during the wait to get an accurate time on the actual work involved. It might even be less than my 6 minutes, but I read the directions like 5 times because it seemed too easy.

- Had to browse through the news, which is depressing these days.

Pros

This time includes the time I had to spend waiting for the correct time to take the screen shot. It had to be taken at exactly 11:35 AM. The actual work was quick and easy. Take a screenshot, upload it to the website the give you and submit the url of the image.

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
