@CMOS... unfortunately there is no self-paced option for any classes that I know of at COSC. I didn't have to take the cornerstone as I enrolled before it was required (but I did get in on the higher tuition rate lol.) The Capstone has about three weeks of eight being oriented around team assignments, not to mention that most of the individual assignments require forum participation. So, you post your essay and then comment on your peer's essay. Overall, I really liked the forum part of it as it was interesting to hear others' perspectives and engage in an intelligent conversation about topics that I normally wouldn't talk about. I took the 8 week Capstone, but I think that they might offer a 15 week option too. I'm not sure. I would have not chosen a 15 week class if there was a shorter one available

@jbraz45 - no they do not do the essay format. I scored a 61 and did not do the essay. COSC awarded the letter grade of A as they score the non-refreshed DSST's. Good boost to the GPA and overall a test that I felt was not very tough.

FYI everyone - I am traveling over the next few days and should get some very occassional internet access (I really hope), but I will be back online at 100% capacity so I apologize in advance if I delay in case another COSC question comes up.
