From my experience...the Business Administration capstone at COSC consisted of reading a couple weekly assignments, a required two posts in the message board per week, a required response to at least three others' posts in the message board. An individual research paper, and two group project papers. The final group project. essentially being a full blown business plan for a business concept your group makes up from scratch. It was a little stressful, but not REALLY difficult. My only real stress was I wanted nothing less than a perfect 100 for my group, and by gum, we got it!
On the message board part....you get graded on the quality of your message board posts. Essentially you regurgitate your take on what you read in the assignment that week and try to question or bring insights into others' regurgitations.
The cornerstone course was an easy class I would describe as "How To College 101." A couple research papers on more or less whatever you want within a broad range, and message board posts. It's a gatekeeper course to basically make sure you can read and write coherent sentences, and that you understand how to write a college research paper.
I can't speak for TESU or Excelsior as I haven't taken any courses there, and I can't speak for capstones in any other subject as Business Admin was my major. Hope this info helps.
