Question
Is 'assistant-teaching' connected by a hyphen or should it be two separate words? Thanks!

It's usually two separate words.

Really? I thought it was hyphenated.
Ms. Sue
If "assistant-teaching" is used as an adjective, then it's hyphenated. Example: I have an assistant-teaching job next fall.
However, if it's used as a noun, it's not hyphenated.
Example: I'll be doing my assistant teaching next fall.
