Academic survey about opinions on algorithm prediction on recidivism - $2.00 +3.40 bonus Confirmed!

Good

Unrated

Approved

$15.19 / hour

00:21:20 / completion time

Pros

Play with an app that predicts recidivism of criminals.
It's actually pretty interesting to play with.
It's not the usual survey!
I'm rating as good payment since I'm expecting over $3.00 in bonus payment too, they don't give the exact amount at the conclusion, but, it's up to $3.60 for not missing any questions.

Cons

There was a small amount of writing to state why you preferred one option over the other options.
They don't state the exact bonus amount at the conclusion.
You'll lose any bonus if you miss an A/C!
Not the greatest documentation for one part, just figure it out for yourself kinda stuff...

Advice to Requester

Please calculate the bonus and display it at the end of the experiment.

Academic survey about opinions on algorithm prediction on recidivism - $2.00 +3.60 bonus Confirmed!

$18.79 / hour

Pros

up to $5.60 in bonuses. I am fairly positive that I earned the whole thing, and I don't think it would be hard to maximize the bonus, but just to be sure I have set it to 0. However, with the full bonus, the hourly wage would be $25.50, so this is definitely worth it if the bonus pays.
Interesting concept

[Academic survey] Determine gender of biographical articles (30-40min, max pay 10.25) - $4.00 +0.01 bonus

Underpaid

Unrated

Approved

$7.30 / hour

00:32:58 / completion time

Pros

Bonus up to $6.25.

Cons

Bonus done in such a way that you are unlikely to actually get anything substantial. 10 cents per word (up to 10) per article and 25 cents per task based on aggregate data from other workers. I'm not sure why this school (Carnegie Mellon) has started putting out such low-paying hits with iffy and/or hard to get bonuses.
