You have a good essay and your structure is perfect as a response to the task. There are however some points
which if modified, would make your paragraphs stronger.
This is an issue that has been discussed a lot and I think it is important because it is related with teaching and education which play important roles in students' lives
You should change this sentence, especially the highlighted one. Do not ask the reader to refer to the essay prompt
for him to grasp a better understanding of your essay. Mention the topic, talk about a lecturer's opinion and how it
affects students.
First, because it is not one of their duties to do so
Rephrase this so it wont sound redundant..
hope this helps...
