I couldn't find info on whether this question has been asked before, but here @fileunderwater says (for homework
tag):
It is used a lot, it is clearly informative, and some people (myself included) use it to filter questions. It also categorizes questions, which is arguably what tags are for. The tag is also the second most used one at Chemistry-SE and Physics-SE
Recently, there has been a flood of homework questions on Biology.SE and many of them have been closed as off-topic too, but I've seen some homework questions with homework
tag which are still open and have almost no research effort (or maybe I couldn't notice any effort shown).
So, my question is Does putting a homework
tag in your question make the question less likely to be closed, even if it has no research effort?
homework
tag can be a sign of good faith. This should not be a substitute for making an effort at answering, or the quality of the question. The tag is to help people filter your question. A minor thing that the tag should encourage is a less jargon-y answer, with learning resources included. $\endgroup$
