I'm not sure how common in numbers. But my friend, who is a tutor and at the same time a doctoral student in Mechanical Engineering, was instructed by his supervisor to supervise two of his Master students. According to my friend, his supervisor wants him to experience the supervising process and paves the way for him to success. They have a good supervisor-student relationship.

So, it's probably too early to jump to conclusion that she was being taken advantage of. Unless she confronts her supervisor and finds out the real reason behind the exercise.

So, “what are right actions?” Please enlighten us. The answer to the question probably requires another question: “What is the right way to be?” Most people would tend to agree that the moral quality or virtue of the person is fundamental. By considering your moral reasoning, we hope we can make morally enlightened choices that express our deepest convictions and highest aspirations.
