The aim of this case study was to determine the correlation between pre-class task score and academic performance in an intermediate optics course. The study was also aimed to identify the  correlation between pre-class task score and students’ expectation. Pre- class  Reading  Task  for   Waves  and  Optics  (PRT-WO)  was  developed  to  examine student  knowledge  acquisition  in  term   of  pre-class  task  score.  A  group  of  37 undergraduates taking intermediate optic course in  one of Malaysian higher education institutions were involved in this study. PRT-WO was uploaded in  series prior to the corresponding classes throughout the semester. Student’s academic performance  in the course was measured by the final examination. Maryland Physics Expectation (MPEX) was   distributed  at  the  end  of  the  semester  to  measure  student’s  expectation  about physics  and physics learning during the PRT-WO instruction. A group.....
