I reiterate what Vask said really, you can get away with murder in your first year if your course is anything like a UK one. After that the amount of work you put in really does determine your result. You can still get away with doing little, just not if you want to get a top mark. I'm probably looking at a 2:1 at present and I do moderate amounts of work. If you do little to no work I expect you could breeze a 2:2 or third (or US equivalent, which I don't know...). If you want a 1st though you really have to work for it.
