The Great A-xperiment Ends

Posted on by Matthew Holden

Happy Tuesday QG Writers!

I have some good news and some bad news.  As I learned in Looney Tunes cartoons, I’ll start with the bad news first.

The bad news is The Great A-xperiment (paying $40 for an A) is over.  It was good while it lasted, but alas, nothing gold can stay.

The good news is that there is more than one piece of good news.

First, the rubrics are staying.  While it hasn’t been the smoothest roll-out of a program, with your feedback we’ve been able to create rubrics that are working.  We are seeing better work and grades that better reflect the quality we’re receiving, so overall these rubrics have been a success.

Second, you’re still getting paid more for an A (and for a B for that matter) than you were in the beginning of July.  For those of you who haven’t been here very long, the pay for articles used to be:

C= $10
B= $15
A= $18

As of today, they are:

C=$10
B=$20
A=$27

This applies only to the pieces of content which have been eligible during the experiment, namely the blog posts and resource articles.  As always, if there is any confusion about which articles are eligible… check the pay in the details.

On that note, one other thing:

THERE IS A BUNCH OF STUFF READY TO BE WRITTEN IN THE WRITER PANEL!  GO CHECK IT OUT!

That is all.  Keep on keepin’ on.

Any questions, comments, concerns, unending and enthusiastic praise for my blogging skills, make them known below.
