Happy to help, and it helped me as well:)
Regarding plotting, I stopped doing it on boxes, and my boxes got so ridiculously bad, but I could not find anywhere where they said that you where suppose to continue plotting, so thought I was cheating when I started adding dots. But checked and it did not look like the teacher was doing it, so I just thought I must be useless at perspective.
Hello Melchior
So thought I would provide feedback, trying my best as per the guide :)
Super Imposed Lines
Looking at the lines P1 and 2
You have really neat starts, all starting around the point
On page 1 there are a couple of the longer lines where it looks like the middle is more spread out than the ends, but there seems to be very litte wobbling, so looks like you followed through and took confident strokes without trying to correct yourself.
There is some arching
Ghosted lines
They look good, there is one where you correctred a line (only mentioning it because the guides said not to, or to quote them "5.Repeating lines. No matter how off a line is, a student should never repeat it, they should kept the line as it if were correct and move on."). The lines look good, close to dot two with some over shooting, and as they told us to prioritising getting our line to dot two, then care about length, recon you are well on your way.
Once again, very little arch and no wobbling.
Ghosted planes
Once again nice straight lines (can only compare with my own ones). There seems to be some overshoot on the lines at times, but would say that is a question of training. Minimal woble, miminal arching.
There is a few planes that aren't quite parallel, skewing the plane a bit. Think that is just training. May also be that you did not plot your lines before drawing them (or the dot was so small and you where so exact that I cant see the dots).
Noticed that myselh, whenever I tried to make boxes without doing the plot dots my perpective goes way of. And its one of the points they make in the guidance for providing feedback.
Table of Ellipses
They Ellipses looks good and exact, most looks like they are drawn in two full circles, there are a few that may be one and a half, but your pen work is far better than mine, and you keep the lines far tighter.
Looking at the guide, it seem confident, there are a few on the end of page 1 that looks like you may have corrected.
Think the next thing is to continue to improve the snuggness of the lines, there is some overlay over the lines, not excessive, but think that is the area where you would benefit most from improving.
Ellipses in Planes
They look over all good, the circles are snug to the line, there are occasions where you go outside the line, but think that is just a question of training. And they do look like they are drawn with confidence (which they state is the primary objective), looks like most of them was made in two circles, once again, as they told us to. And you seem to have really gotten the rings nicely round in the plane (I.E. most of them looks like they are in the same perspective as the plane and still round, had serious issues with that my self)
Funnels
They look nice and snugg, it also says that
"4.On funnels, the minor axis (the line in the middle) should cut ellipses in 2 symetrical halves."
Think they are generally good, there are a few of the larger ones where there is a bit of an egg shapes. but once again. Also, the lines are closer together than the previous Ellipses, so seems like you're improving.
Boxes
The first one where you used a rules (we where suppose to, so no critique), they look good, and your added nice weight to your lines as well. Very nice and clean.
The rough perspective ones, you are using the line correction method. Some of the lines are a bit wobbly, but that is just exsersize, and even though they are rough, you hace managed to kee them quite lose to the VP. I can also see that they are plotted properly. Potentially a bit deeped than expected, but that's about it.
On rotating boxes, there may be a bit limited rotation between the second inner and the outer set of boxes.

(I did not create that drawing, grabbed it from the instructions how to critiques)
On the organic bosses, the perspective is a bit of at places, but that is apperantly common (also, it seems like we will get a lot of excersize drawing boxes.
Hope this helped,
Next Steps:
Generally, think its good, my main advice would be to continue training, making certain that you continues to draw your lines with confidence. Always plot your lines before ghosting them. And draw for fun :)
Like the Staedtlers, these also come in a set of multiple weights - the ones we use are F. One useful thing in these sets however (if you can't find the pens individually) is that some of the sets come with a brush pen (the B size). These can be helpful in filling out big black areas.
Still, I'd recommend buying these in person if you can, at a proper art supply store. They'll generally let you buy them individually, and also test them out beforehand to weed out any duds.
