Is there in an EOC for this course? What are the requirements for the EOC for graduation?

Civics and Economics has an End of Course Test developed by the 
State of North Carolina.  Students must be proficient
(score a level 3 or 4) in order to earn credit towards 
graduation.  The final makes up 25% of the student's final grade 
and is not scored by me but by the state.  
If a student doesn't receive a proficient score on the EOC but 
passed the course, they will have to submit a portfolio of work 
showing their proficiency with the material.  This portfolio is 
developed by the student throughout the semester and is why they 
should not throw away notebooks or work until after they are sure 
they received credit for he course.
