Matt Rubin has posted a fresh batch of 3800 of his Alma Mater HITs @ 35¢ a pop. Qualifications Required: Total approved HITs is greater than 10000, HIT approval rate (%) is not less than 95, Location is US Autoapprove in 7 days. https://www.mturk.com/mturk/preview?groupId=2593XERSQV66AMXUU1UH3WAYTOF19A I did some of his last batch, though they have not paid out yet. He has good TO.
Mine haven't paid out yet either. $90+. Keeping my fingers crossed since his TO is good. I am going to go ahead and do more.
I having trouble find the information for the professors. How do you find the information? Thank you.
I usually just google the name, and if it is a common name, add the school. I have also checked the school directory
They were easier last night, when the batch was fresh Yeah, they will get progressively more difficult as the cherry pickin’ continues.
I just did one and the guy got out of the college in 89. Wow I mean how far back will Matt be taking this?
The only suggestion I have is to use Bing for these. They have that social sidebar thing on the right, so when you find one on LinkedIn you can mouse over the search results and see the abbreviated version. Saves a little time.
Was he a instructor, lecturer, or professor? I have found many current students, teaching assistants, phd candidates but none who graduated that long ago and aren't somehow connected to the university. It is more difficult with common names to find the correct one. John Smith might be a current student or lecturer but there is more than likely a former student with the same name
I find a lot of students who were teaching assistants or lab assistants at some point in their careers.
I started doing these on the 24th, so I should see approvals and/or rejections by Saturday night. EDIT - Several days worth paid out this afternoon.
And the rest of mine have paid out. Looking at these other HITs he has up (Find the Official Course Name and Number), I can see now where these names are coming from.
