چکیده (انگلیسی):

In this special topics classroom discussion/ project, the financial management issues of systemic and
model risks are examined, the Efficient Markets Hypothesis is analyzed, and the emerging field of
Behavioral Finance is introduced. This interactive approach of having students respond to a list of
instructor-prepared discussion issues/questions during the showing of the video is a great break
from courses that are straight-lecture in orientation. The potential to require a follow-up assignment
where students act as market participants in a virtual financial market on www.pbs.org adds to the
interactive nature of the project.
