چکیده (انگلیسی):

This paper reports on an innovative way to actively teach risk-taking to students majoring in
entrepreneurship. Specifically, students completed a “Fundraising” assignment that involved
different degrees of risk. Below, the qualitative experiences of students in one undergraduate class
are shared. Additional, results ofa short questionnaire suggested that the students believed the
assignment was useful in meeting its objectives. In general, it appears that the fundraising activity
was effective in helping students appreciate and understand the multiple roles risk plays in becoming
an entrepreneur. Finally, feedback is provided from the students’ and professor’s viewpoints for
improving upon the risk-taking assignment.
