i have friends who go every week and i go maybe once per semester. both strategies work. some people just need more one-on-one clarification and that's totally valid. if anything professors respect it because you're showing initiative
only way it becomes weird is if you're asking questions you could answer yourself in 10 seconds with google. but if you're genuinely confused and want clarification? go every day if you need to. that's literally what office hours exist for
ok good bc im definitely not asking dumb questions. like the material is genuinely hard and office hours help me understand it better so i think im good
honestly going weekly shows you care about doing well in the class. some professors even remember you better when it comes time for recommendations. you're building a relationship not being annoying
not weird at all actually. professors EXPECT students to use office hours. like that's literally what they're there for. if your prof seemed annoyed they would've told you or moved your meeting. showing up with actual questions means you're engaged which they love
