About me
My name is Melanie Nakaji. I have a Ph.D from the University of Northern Colorado in Rehabilitation Counseling. I’m the lead American Sign Language (ASL) professor and strive to modify my pedological strategies to meet students’ learning needs. Most recently, I received a large grant to develop Zero-Textbook Cost (ZTC) courses for all of the courses offered in the ASL major and certificate program. I am also the ZTC Coordinator at San Diego City College. My teaching philosophy centers around the notion that students will thrive in a group environment and when the concept of “fun” is interjected into the course!
