(NOTE TO REVIEWERS: This question only appears for those who selected "classes" above; I included this to cross-tabulate satisfaction with classes above and WHICH classes they actually take; we COULD ask for their level of satisfaction here on the specific classes they take; it would make this longer, but would offer specific satisfaction levels for each class type.
