This is very interesting. Aside from specific class/professor problems, I wonder if another cause of this is the challenge of multi-tasking a variance of courses.
It might help if each semester could be structured so that it contained related or complementary courses. Or better yet, have the option of taking double credit-courses. So, a full course load of 2 or 3 intensive courses would be the same amount of hours as 5 or 6 regular courses.
I had this happen unintentionally in my sophomore year (computer engineering).
In 3 different classes (MechE, DiffEQ, and circuits) we happened to be going over very similar material from different angles (under/over/critically-damped systems).
I learned those concepts pretty well, with less effort than other quarters.
Oh yeah, this is very interesting too. Personally, I really cannot fully participate in each and every class when I'm taking 5 classes a quarter. I can only mange to do this by intensely focusing (and going to class) on 2-3 courses, and then practically skipping all the lectures for the other courses (but still managing to do quality work in them relative to the rest of the class)
