What is the difference between a capstone and cornerstone course?

A capstone is usually taken in the senior year. It is a course where you, as a student demonstrate through writing- (sometimes through testing out?) all that you have learned in your major. According to: Capstone Courses | Office of Faculty and Organizational Development , "The capstone course is a method of summative evaluation in which the student is given an opportunity to demonstrate integrated knowledge and growth in the major. The course may assess a student's cognitive, affective, and psychomotor learning in the major and also the overall collegiate learning experience."

On the other hand, a cornerstone course is often taken (depending on college) in the first year of college. It helps you, as a student, reflect on learning, your style of learning, work with advisers, and take the right steps in the right direction... FAQs :: St. Louis Community College defines cornerstone as a course that: "... introduces you to the demands and rewards of college education and helps you prepare to get the most from it. The cornerstone helps you see the goals of general education and how they fit into your college experience. It gives you the chance to explore moral and ethical values of a diverse society such as 21st century America."
