Instructions

Imagine you want to learn something about the topic given below. Judge how useful each of the given statements would be in this setting.

Please note:

- Do not judge the statements based on prior knowledge. If you already knew something, this should not influence your answer.
- Prefer more general statements over more specific statements.
  - Example Topic: coal mining accidents in China
  - Statement 1: 3294 people were killed in 1283 accidents in China in 2012 --> general statement about the topic, would be "Extremely/Very Important"
  - Statement 2: 8 people were killed in an explosion last week --> relevant for the topic, but rather specific event, therefore "Moderately/Slightly Important"
- Prefer statements that you can fully understand without context other than the given topic.
  - Negative example: these events demonstrated the high risks --> unclear which "these events" are, not possible to determine importance, use "Not at all"
- Ignore grammatical and punctuation errors as well as unnatural or unfluent wording of the statements. They were automatically extracted from text. This should not influence your importance judgement (as long as you can still understand what the statement says).
- The judgements you have to make are subjective and there is no correct answer. We are interested in your opinion. However, to identify and handle workers that do not pay attention to the task, some HITs indeed contain items with an obvious single correct answer. Please do the task properly!
