I received a much less than stellar review in my short teaching career at the West Georgia Technical College campuses in Carrolton, Georgia, and LaGrange, Georgia. I seem to recall that I was commuting 41.8 miles one way to Carrolton two or three days a week. I also was giving my roommate a ride to her medical clinic (as a patient) five or six times a week to Newnan, Georgia, a one-way distance of 30.9 miles. I was expected to teach Information Technology rather than software engineering and/or computer science. I believe I received a negative teaching review from a Carrolton student in my “Maintenace and Repair of Personal Computers” in the 2012 Winter Semester. I did later earn a TestOut.com certification in the area of PC Pro. We used the simulators offered online from TestOut.com. I earned the PC Pro certificate credential ID C8FR in August 2013. In my defense, I was a competent instructor of Windows 2007 Office and “Maintenace and Repair of Personal Computers” before I resigned due to negative ethics on my part. Also, I did much better instructing when I was teaching only on the LaGrange, Georgia campus.

My whole legal name is James Pate Williams, Jr. I was born in LaGrange, Georgia approximately 70 years ago. I barely graduated from LaGrange High School with low marks in June 1971. Later in June 1979, I graduated from LaGrange College with a Bachelor of Arts in Chemistry with a little over a 3 out 4 Grade Point Average (GPA). In the Spring Quarter of 1978, I taught myself how to program a Texas Instruments desktop programmable calculator and in the Summer Quarter of 1978 I taught myself Dayton BASIC (Beginner's All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) on LaGrange College's Data General Eclipse minicomputer. I took courses in BASIC in the Fall Quarter of 1978 and FORTRAN IV (Formula Translator IV) in the Winter Quarter of 1979. Professor Kenneth Cooper, a genius poly-scientist taught me a course in the Intel 8085 microprocessor architecture and assembly and machine language. We would hand assemble our programs and insert the resulting machine code into our crude wooden box computer which was designed and built by Professor Cooper. From 1990 to 1994 I earned a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from LaGrange College. I had a 4 out of 4 GPA in the period 1990 to 1994. I took courses in C, COBOL, and Pascal during my BS work. After graduating from LaGrange College a second time in May 1994, I taught myself C++. In December 1995, I started using the Internet and taught myself client-server programming. I created a website in 1997 which had C and C# implementations of algorithms from the "Handbook of Applied Cryptography" by Alfred J. Menezes, et. al., and some other cryptography and number theory textbooks and treatises.
