Has anyone done the capstone before cornerstone? - amberwalk - 03-12-2021
Has anyone done the capstone before cornerstone? I have more time right now and figured I should probably focus more on the more labor intensive course.

It's personal preference really, if you only have two final courses to complete, I would recommend doing both the Capstone and Cornerstone together by putting your time at 80/20 split as the Cornerstone is much easier... If you're going for Pell Grant, that's the optimal option to get some "free funding" from the government as they require a minimum of 6 credits to max the amount for the term! I've seen people take one at a time, majority take the Cornerstone first and then Capstone as they don't want to be bogged down later or they take both at the same time.
In regards to work load, if you have a few more courses to take, I would probably work on those first before you even begin with the Capstone. It's great you're preparing and being proactive in finding ways to complete the final courses the best you can. I assume you have about 100+ credits already and some if not most of your AOS completed, if not, work on those first, it'll build up topics and knowledge towards completing the Capstone.

Thank you. All of my credits were accepted with the exception of one course so I'm doing Soc of Work right now via Study to make up for the one they wouldn't add to my eval. I'm registering for either the corner or capstone to start in April. I'd REALLY like to do both but I work full-time and with the DBs and Labs in the corner I'm not sure I could swing both. I'm planning to do the capstone Guided Study. I don't have the time for ridiculous DBs, I loathe them. I might register for one in April and the other in may if I see that I can swing it.
