I served as sole instructor for ITAO-3011-05 Foundations of Business Analytics at University of Notre Dame's Mendoza College of Business during the Spring 2025 semester, earning a 5.0/5.0 student evaluation.Â
Designed for undergraduate business majors across Finance, Accounting, Analytics, Management, and Marketing, the course centered on the fundamentals of data collection, analysis, and communication through visualization and storytelling. Students worked hands-on with Excel, R, and Power BI throughout the semester. The curriculum was intentionally flexible, allowing students to select datasets from a range of industries and more deeply connect course material to their own academic and professional interests. Business Analytics majors received additional exposure to career pathways in the field.
"Professor Bevilacqua is extremely passionate about this subject and it shows. She brings it to class everyday and makes students engaged in the topics. I have learned a lot in this class, both technical and soft skills which I will use throughout college and professional career."
"Professor Bevilacqua was incredible at creating an environment in and outside of the classroom that encouraged student participation and seeking help when things were confusing. She made herself available at many different hours that aligned with student's availability and broke things down to help reach true understanding."
"Professor Bevilacqua is a fantastic teacher and a great presenter. I believe that her greatest strength would be her ability to put herself on the same level as the students, creating an environment where it doesn't feel uncomfortable to ask stupid or simple questions."
