Between SOLUS's Course Catalog and the Academic Course Calendar, I can't tell what's actually being offered this year

I was pulling possible course options from the courseleaf 2026-27 course calendar, esp the ones listed as options for specific Teachables under the Education tab, but it says not everything in there is being offered every year. Half of the courses don't show up in SOLUS (like HIST 223... it sounds cool...) so I figured they're not being offered this year, but half the listings in the SOLUS search say 'class not scheduled' and 'last updated 2022'. Where can I just get/filter a definitive list of classes being offered in 2026-27?

Help refining a matte plastic material?

I'm trying to make a plastic material to make renders of toys and figurines, like the sort you'd get from a gachapon machine. The first is my current progress, but it's pretty much just a Principled Shader with some Subsurface Scattering. The rest are Blender pieces by marpro_3D which closely resemble the sort of material I'm trying to create- most plastic tutorials I've tried resemble a thinner, shinier type of plastic. It looks pretty simple, but the effect is more convincing than other renders I've seen. I wish I could find higher-quality images of them.

I'd reach out directly about how marpro made the material, but all his social media have been shut down for years. Any specific advice on how to create this sort of look?
