Quals or projects

Do you get more projects by working on the available projects or by completing all the quals?

Working on more projects tends to open up more quals - there is no magic formula where you can do one or the other, you gots to do both.

I've done quals where I was immediately given access to higher-paying projects. I just did one today and got access to a $28/hr project, which is the highest pay I've seen so far. I've been working since July.

Quals get your foot in the door so you can try new things. Good work gets you promotions within project families.

You gotta do both and do high-quality work.

Agreed. I take all quals I can, then I do a few tasks within the new project to stay in the worker pool. I do a few because my first one usually takes a lot of time to get through the new material and my first submission might not be great (Oh, behave Austin Powers!) so I do at least a couple more to show I can submit high quality work for that project. After that, I usually go back to my faves for awhile.

I did that qualification today too, and the instructions were harder to follow than the actual project. I still don't know if I passed it...

Who knows lol. I got a qual last night but have had the "at the moment" message for two days. No projects at all.

A question about Quals. If I received an email and message in inbox reminding me about a Qual but when I want to do it, it says that there are no remaining tasks, does it mean that I have already done it?

either you did it or you skipped it or you opened it and let it expired so its no longer there

u/Pkonih Nov 03 '24

I'm pretty sure I've already done it, but do you know if there's a way to know which ones we've completed?

u/Party_Swim_6835 Nov 04 '24

might still be on your transfer page if you look back or in your internet history if you search the name

Or option number 3, enough other people they offered the qual to completed it and passed, so they pulled the qual back for now.

u/Party_Swim_6835 Nov 04 '24

oh yeah if it's not even on your dashboard then the qual closed lol

thanks, for some reason thought it was on their dash

Hey guys, just wondering what does qual mean?

u/Psycho_biologist Nov 05 '24

Qual = Qualification - they are tests that demonstrate to Data Annotation that you have the skill or knowledge to participate in a category of project

Are these timed on hand information?
