1) The assignment that the professor has given to me whas been a real challenge.
You've mixed your tenses here. I'm not *sure* it's wrong, because present perfect is a bit weird, but it's definitely safer to match. Or you can move forward in time: "The assignment that the professor has given to me is a real challenge." But moving back to the past after the present perfect is iffy.
I can imagine a scenario where it works: You're in class, he gives you an assignment, you complete it while still in the class and start talking about how hard it was. It's still "has given" because he's right there, he gave it to you in this period. But it "was" a challenge because you've done it. Still, better to avoid, I think.
Probably slightly more natural to drop the "to": "that the professor has given me". But it's not necessary.
2) I've written this dissertation in four and half months and I can say with absolute certainty that I'm satisfied with it.
3) The curriculum of this course was very well-structured in my opinion.
4) In these trying times in which a global pandemic is still ongoing, distance learning is fundamental for education.
This is okay, but you can avoid repeating "in" by saying "In these trying times where a global pandemic". A little nicer. Also, "in which" always feels slightly awkward to me.
5) In order to enrol at this university and on this particular course, you must already have a Bachelor's degree and show proof of financial responsibility.
It is of the utmost importance to know ifthat you will be able to pay all the fees.
What you have is fine, but I would say this. We don't simply want to find out *if* you can pay the fees; we want to be sure that you *can*. With "utmost importance", if there is a desired result, I would rather specify the result.
And "of the utmost" just feels more literary, which is the tone you're aiming for when you use a self-important term like "utmost" :)
6) The opening of a new library in this district is now possible because the funding has been approved.
7) This lecture hall is temporarily closed because there are some renovations in progress.
8) The seminar I've attended for the past two weeks whasn't been as engaging as I'd hoped.
Tense mixing again.
9) This term was exhausting for me.
I need a break from everything as soon as possible, otherwise I will burn out.
10) Her tutor has such a good teaching method.
I was astonished by how fast she improved in such a little time.
Or "such a short time". I have no idea why, but this is definitely how I'd use those words here.

Extremely strong sentences here, most of this is just style notes and the errors are very subtle.
