I've already seen one on "Psychology at University - FAQ -what is psychology like at university" and apparently you have to read 3-5 research papers on top of each lecture (about 4 lectures a week).
Is it this much for everybody? Do you have to remember every single bit of info from the papers?
Not too much at all, really. You won't remember everything but you will broaden your knowledge and you'd be surprised at what sticks. I basically did this for my philosophy degree and pissed a first.
of course, you can still do pretty well without doing any of this.
I read about 1000 and cited 360 for my PhD. Get stuck in, - but it's a wormhole, as one paper inevitably leads to the exploration of a related article.

Wow that is a lot. How many did you do in the first year or your undergraduate?
