you could probably go to elearning, then lectopia if it's recorded

but the first few lectures should be fairly simple anyways

Lab coat and goggles can be bought at a few places. The newsagent in Wentworth sells most things. I'm not sure whether you'll need a dissection kit too. Will probably be fine if you don't have one because you only need one group member to have their kit on them.

When I did BIOL1001, I never needed goggles nor do I remember purchasing them.

In regards to pricing, you're looking at around $30. Someone may correct me on that.

If you don't have a labcoat, they usually tell you to leave but you can hire one somewhere in Carslaw (They will be able to tell you).

Enclosed shoes are fine.
