Easy classes

There seem to be two acceptable definitions for the term "easy class." To my understanding, what most people mean when they talk about having an "easy class" this semester is that they are in a class that
1. Doesn't require homework very often
2. Doesn't have many quizzes/tests
3. Requires little in-class participation
But when I'm looking for classes (and I *do* like to have it easy) I find myself hoping for classes that
1. Have lots of take-home homework (that I can do right and be sure of 100%)
2. Lots of small quizzes that I can prepare for a little at a time
3. Chances to make up bad grades on old quizzes/homeworks
I'd rather do some more work to get a guaranteed A then do minimal work and roll the dice for a grade between B- and A.
