Is this cheating?

[Scotsman]

So my bro is taking Geology at college. His prof gives them all take home tests and assignments. Is it cheating for me to help him out given that I am a professional Geologist?

Giving him the answers or doing it for him = cheating.

Helping him learn and open his mind to the possibilities = not cheating.

HTH

I'd say help him with the assignments, let him take the test by himself. Help him to study so that he fully understands before testing.

Answer the poll, I want yes or no data here.

I'm asking if you think it's cheating for him to seek help from someone who knows the answers.

NO! hook him up and I will break out that wormy, no nothing, fucking, rock-hound, sob bastard on my rig Scots.

Good times.

P.S. Fuck you and silt and the wasatch in north parachute. I know you did this to us.

LOL, he only took the class because he knew I could help him score an A to keep his scholarship. He's an artist so don't think he'll be swinging stands anytime soon.

So I am the God of Silt? Strangely I'm ok with that.

Can I blame you for the super hard vertically fractured shale that's fucking us right now? Took us 8 days to make 1250' and 6hrs to core 8' with 3' recovered.

In case I haven't mentioned this alread, I HATE TEXAS!!!!!

There is no credited respose to the answer you posed given your wording, which would make me think you have a secondary agenda here.

Is it cheating if I go to my prof's office hours to get help with a HW set?

By all means, help him get an A! But do not simply give him the answers... take the time to tutor him, help him understand: help him earn his A. That is not cheating. It is teaching.
