Reviews of professor Mary Lescoe-Long

Rating: 3.0/5, difficulty: 4.0/5
I worked hard in Introduction to Public Health. Professor Lescoe-Long gave us discussion assignments, case study assignments, three tests (including the final), and a course paper. Though the discussion assignments were the hardest because she expected at least 5 replies.

This professor was one of the worst I have had at FGCU. She does not give any feedback and is unclear in her grading requirements. This professor has very difficult exams as they go off of many things such as ted talks, lecture notes, powerpoints, and the textbook. Our class average was Cs on exams. Do not recommend!!

I took this class in Spring 20. Professor is very responsive to emails, available via phone, and gives good feedback. Discussion boards were tough because of the 5 required responses but possible. Case studies weren't too bad, you will have needed to done the readings. You also get plenty of time to complete the course paper.

Professor Lescoe-Long gave a lot of work but the instructions were clear and the grading was very fair. There was a lot of reading, a discussion post every week, and a few case studies from the textbook. No quizzes. One paper with enough time to complete it and good feedback. 3 exams, no lockdown browser. Professor Lescoe-Long seemed to care.

Only exams, discussion boards, case studies and one final paper. The paper was easy because she split up the parts throughout semester. You turned in a draft and she gave you feedback before final turned in. Exams were tough. Dont expect to google or find answers online. A is possible if you actually do work And read her slides and book.

She is one of the few good profs at FGCU. When we had an exam that most of the class did poorly on she took responsibility and curved it by an extra 30 points and modified the remaining exams. Gave really good feedback on my papers and I ended up with a 97%. I would recommend her for any public health course!
