RIT Rate My Professors Extension

Description

Professors' names will now link to their Rate My Professors page (or the search results if not found).

The most helpful rating is chosen as the most recent rating with the most net upvotes (regardless of the quality given). (The most helpful rating on Rate My Professors always has an "Awesome" overall quality.) Also, the "Would take again" value won't show up unless there are eight or more ratings and the majority of ratings answer that question.

To better find professors, this extension will try the first part of a hyphenated last name, different middle/last name combos, and the middle name as the first name (common Southern tradition). It will also try all associated nicknames or diminutive names for first names. For example, Thomas Reichlmayr on RIT's course search is found as Tom Reichlmayr on Rate My Professors. Lastly, some custom nicknames are handled.
