I'd give it maybe a B

In preparation for UCLA's reopening, employees who will work in fall or winter are required to complete an online training session. Most of the information provided was conventional. The "test" included had some ambiguous language in one slide. But the main problem is that the narrative is aimed at all employees.

I would think that it would have been much better to have separate sessions for faculty, librarians, and other occupational groupings that were specific to tasks likely to occur within those groupings. Language involving consulting with "your supervisor or manager" is not relevant for faculty, for example.

A better approach would be to start with some basics relevant to all occupations (masks, handwashing, etc.) and then offer separate options by broad occupation.
