Is This Course Load Too Much for a Spring Semester?

analytical physics 1
chemistry 1
biology 1
calculus 1

if anything else, maybe a psychology or something along those lines.

but for a spring semester would this be too difficult?

Seems quite standard to me. Looks like the typical workload of a first-year bio student. Calc 1 should be a breeze if you've done well in maths at school. Ditto for physics. Can't comment on the others. Workload in bio and chem will be high, but it seems like a very standard selection of courses.
P.S. don't bother with psychology unless you plan on going into medicine.

Why is it known as "analytical physics" ?

Why is it known as "analytical physics" ?

there is:

general physics - for like a liberal arts track
analytical physics - for the physics/math majors

It seems like it shouldn't be too 'difficult'. Depending on the # of labs you end up doing for those classes it may be a bit cumbersome and time consuming in that department though.

Seems pretty standard, just be sure to budget your time wisely and put in your hours studying. If it makes you feel better, I am taking:

Calc III
Physics w/Calc II
Probability/Statistics for Engineers
Vector Mechanics: Statics

Which is pretty standard for a sophomore engineering student, I think.

All in all, the classes are not hard, per se, I just spend a LOT of time studying/doing homework each week. I barely ever have free time. But, it is worth it to get As, as I am trying to transfer into a good university.
