Great class. Dr. Fantl is a very apt instructor who really makes the material interesting and engaging. You have tutorials on Tuesdays and Thursdays when you don't have class where you go over the readings in more detail to unlock the meaning behind them. There are two essays and a couple exams--not particularly difficult (so long as you're ready) and Dr. Fantl is accessible outside of class time for any help you may need!

Do your work, make sure you stay on-top of the readings, and everything should go smoothly. You can get away with missing maybe one class or another, but I wouldn't necessarily recommend it.
