An exercise I give students, please share your thoughts. A review app that lets staf rate students/5. Other staff can up/downvote reviews as a way of agreeing or disagreeing with the review. How do you aggregate ratings and votes into an overall student score?

The ideas is once a review is made the student score is immediately updated, but can be changed as votes are made on them or other reviews are created. What formula would you use? Is it simply Score = Total upvotes - Total Downvotes?

In 2016 I attended a local workshop on @Firebase. The speakers who flew in encouraged me to join the @googledevgroups platform. I helped launch @gdgpos and after 7 years I was thrilled to once again see @solsona and @tonioguzmanf again at #GoogleIOConnect! – at Miami, FL

Sometimes students come to me for school advice. I'd just tell them what I saw the smart ones did cause I basically memed around for 4 years 😅. But I did do hackathons which essentially kick-started my career.
