    It’s much more common than it should be, but that is still rather on the extreme end, not normal, and extremely unethical behaviour on their part. I’m sorry that happened to you.

      I’m in a PhD program now at a different university. I definitely don’t get a team of masters students to run all my experiments for me.

      That sure would have been nice. But also I feel like, I should be doing the work. Nothing wrong with a little help from a volunteer assistant but that’s different than being assigned 4 masters students to run all of your experiments.

      My masters was in the UK. (I’m American). I don’t know if that’s a normal set up over there or was unusual for UK too.
