I have a friend who is working as a research assistant while doing her Masters.

She told me that she had to mark several hundreds of scripts assigned to her by her Master's research supervisor.

Is this a common practice for a lecturer to pass down the work to the research assistant?

Is this a common practice?

Please enlighten me because I felt like she was taken advantage.

No its not allowed. During my postgraduate we were given a handbook by the university where they outlined our responsibilities towards supervisor and vice versa. I am not sure why this is practiced here in Malaysia in UK it was different. The person who designs the questions bears the responsibility of correcting them. Honestly they are just lazy and asking others to do their jobs.

As far as Ph.D students helping Masters students, yes that is a common practice all over the world.
But no never correcting papers as research assistant.
