My experience is honestly the opposite. I found my best semesters were when I narrowed the number of courses I had down. I focused on doing a few things very well and it worked out.

I also wonder how the author handled pre-requisites. During the third semester wouldn't he be taking courses like linear algebra, differential equations, compilers and artificial intelligence at the same time? I am quite impressed that someone can absorb all that course material while working a 40-hour a week job.
