learner-centered paradigm received an overall score average of 8.36 on a 1-9 scale. Additionally, when asked whether the students learned a lot, the original compensation course average score = 3.92 on a 1-5 scale while the revised course average score = 4.45 on a 1-5 scale. This anecdotal feedback indicates that more positive learning outcomes occurred with the learner-centered approach Another illustration of the power that learner-centered courses can have on students becomes evident with how they apply their knowledge in the workforce. Several students who took this compensation course worked in paid compensation internships or accepted part-time or full-time compensation positions. A compensation-consulting firm hired one student. Another student accepted a position with a non-profit organization conducting job analyses and writing job descriptions. A third student was hired to conduct performance appraisals and compensation decision-making for a home healthcare organization. Each of these students engaged in the compensation course differently, yet each student credits the learning they experienced in the course as preparing him or her for the myriad of activities and decisions he/she performs in the business world
