BSLA Cornerstone/Capstone Questions

[TorsMama]

Yes, I know I will get a clear picture once classes start. But here is my dilemma: Cornerstone and Info Lit start May 3rd and Capstone starts June 28th. I am moving in July with my family of six. I will be VERY busy. I would really love to do some preliminary work/research this month as ALL I have to complete my Bachelors of Science in Liberal Arts is those 3 classes. 

So my questions are for those who have taken those courses: 
-Is there any work I can do now? 
-Are there restrictions on what to write my 20-page Global Issue paper for Capstone or could be any issue work (I am hoping to write on the rights of childbearing women)? 

-Can the paper for Capstone take my Cornerstone Paper and expand it? Or do they have to be completely separate topics? 
-What other projects are there to complete (I know there are readings and discussions)?

Thanks!!
