Pros

Cons

- Seems they cut the pay in half from what they were offering last month which now makes this underpaid and not worth doing.

*Update*
Rejected with the reason: "The survey takes longer time than the worker spent."

An already underpaid HIT that wants you to fully listen to each audio file even though the UI of the study implies that you don't need to fully listen to each audio file and never states that you need to. It also allows you to progress without listening fully to each file. Furthermore, the UI makes it annoying to replay any parts of certain audio files that you want to hear since there's no way to seek through the track of the file.

If you actually listened fully to each audio file, this HIT would be even more underpaid than it already was. Don't ever do these HITs unless the pay is at least doubled because it's not worth it.

Pros

Cons

Got rejected, just like everyone else. I am tired of over 90% of my rejections being from unfair nonsense like this. I listened to the audio to get a comparison of which sounded better. That's what was asked, so that is what I did. If there is a minimum time, then tell us...

I sent an email, but I'm not expecting much with how these usually go - not to mention the other response we've seen. People just can't understand that people who do this all the time are more efficient than those that don't.

Pros

Cons

Rejection Reason: "Survey takes more than 10 minutes."

Email Response:

There are 20 pair of samples that have an average of 10 sec audio clips, 20*20*10 = 400 secs, post survey takes probably 20 to 30 secs and listening test takes the same. This is considering you listened to sample once, since audios are very similar it usually takes another round. Which would bring the time needed to complete the survey to 600 to 1000 secs. It only took you 430 secs.

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
