Hi Joe,
It's a pain in the arse(ass for US fellows) when you have to deal with something like this.
However, I think this exercise is great for you as it's completely replicating what you need to deal with, more often than not, outside of film school.
One of the things learned in college (in mine, anyway) is to know your role and stay within it. Sounds to me like you're a very decent person and the ego-maniac that you're having to deal with is very lucky, Joe!
Have you just considered telling the person? They'll not get it so easy in the industry ;)

I worked as an AC on a small budget film and a fellow student worked on a larger budget film. I had a wonderful experience and she practically had a break-down. :blink:
It really depends on what a person expects to get from the experience and who you are working with. People ARE out to protect their jobs in this current climate but isn't it just doing the decent thing by passing on some knowledge. Surely they were in the same learning position at one time ;)
