Become a Crowd Worker : Assignment 1 The point of the first assignment is to get a worker’s perspective. Crowdsourcing platforms like Mechanical Turk allow us, the programmers, to work with humans as though they are function calls (fulfilling every antisocial CS student’s dreams). Since, for the rest of the semester, you will be relying on crowd workers to complete work for you quickly and accurately, you should take this first assignment as an opportunity to understand your workers and the ways you can help them work best for you.
