first - congrats on being a doctoral candidate!!!! i recently switched careers & am almost done w grad school, possibly considering doctoral next. yeah, I was really turned off by her response especially because I made numerous efforts to reach out to her about possible mistakes on my part and asking if I could fix any errors, etc.
I emailed her immediately about the possible mistakes & she wrote back to say
"Sorry for the delay in responding. I understand your concern. I checked a couple of your entries and see what you are saying. I have approved most of them - so you will be paid for these and won't hit your rating. "
I told her thank you and I had actually already received the rejections, would it be possible to fix them, etc. & got back
"Sorry for the late reply. So, I checked your stats again. This is what I have: (my stats as a graphic:13 correct/38 wrong/11 rejected)
The ones marked wrong are those that looked like the MTurker made a good attempt, but still missed the mark - so those are paid out, but still unusable for our purposes.
The ones marked reject are those that appear like no effort has been made - these are not paid out.
I am quite surprised that you did 60+ when all we required was 5.
The wrong and rejected ones were re uploaded and completed by other workers. So, unfortunately, at this point, there is not much I can do. Thanks for the feedback on the HITs."
