I had the contract in hand to do scoring this year, but decided not to sign after I read the part where I couldn't work on any other assessment work for a year after. I have another assessment project in the works that I liked better. :) <BR/><BR/>When I did assessment writing for Pearson last fall, the check did seem to take a long time to come. It did show up, though.<BR/><BR/>LauraLaurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10342699237747457392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3444601322934752825.post-39597067393144158732008-05-15T23:21:00.000-04:002008-05-15T23:21:00.000-04:00I've been working on a score from home project for...I've been working on a score from home project for Pearson for a month. The work is more tiring then I thought it would be (sitting in a chair and reading essays for hours on end). I also have not been paid for any hours yet. I've spoken to a supervisor twice, and was told "oh, it's coming," but nothing. The site has tons of technical issues and kicks me off or locks me out at least once a day. To top that off, I was told two weeks ago I was scoring too many essays above the group's average and to slow down. Now they tell me I'm not doing enough. When I have a question, I get conflicting answers because they have multiple supervisors answering you (same thing if you screw up...multiple messages. Ever seen Office Space?). I probably won't do this again once the project's over. There are easier and far more fulfilling ways for writers to earn $10 an hour! Sorry for the long comment...thought you might be interested in feedback from a scorer though :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
