Description
The evaluateQualificationRequests command evaluates the answers submitted by
Workers so you can approve or reject the Qualification requests. You can use the
preview argument to view the results before you approve them. If you run this
command without the preview argument, the request is approved or rejected.
This command uses an answer key file to automatically review Workers' test results and determine if the Qualification request should be approved or rejected.
Tip
This allows you to specify free text answers that can be automatically processed. This overcomes a limitation of the Amazon Mechanical Turk system where FreeTextAnswer type answers cannot be auto-graded.
All questions must be answered correctly in order for the Qualification request to be approved. A Qualification score of 100 is assigned for approvals.
For more information about Qualifications, see the Amazon Mechanical Turk Developer Guide.
