Every time a professor facilitates a course the opportunity for a learning experience can happen. As discussed in this paper, this compensation course was certainly no exception. Upon reflecting on the initial experience of including the learner-centered paradigm in this course, several new modifications are suggested. First, in reality, the semester timeline of the course caused some students to buy into the learner-centered concept before enough trust was built for their acceptance. Instead of requiring the grading schema to be determined by learners prior to engaging in learning components, a process that allows learners to submit a learning portfolio toward the end of the semester would accomplish the flexibility of learning more completely. Second, have all learners, including the professor, write a reflection essay describing their positive and negative experiences of the learning process and how they will continue their compensation management learning. Without this component, it is possible for the learners who did not participate in the Personal Odyssey to end the course without addressing and implementing the course strategy.
