Congratulations on finishing L1! Here's what I noticed:
You did your exercises in ballpoint pen(if you did use a fineliner I take that back, but it really looks like so), which is not ideal but I understand a fineliner can be a bit expensive depending on where you live(like in my country, for example. I use a "cheap" stabilo to do the DAB exercises :D). But keep in mind that making use of a fineliner in DAB is not a random decision, and I recommend you get yourself a fineliner as soon as you start the 250 box challenge.
Superimposed Lines: You did a good job here, your lines are smooth and confident. You're taking your time to place the pen at the start of the your line in a way that the fraying is present only on the other end.
Ghosted Lines and Ghosted Planes: A few of them look a bit wobbly, make sure you're taking all the time you need to ghost these lines and that you're drawing from your shoulder. Precision is not as important as confidence, and both come with practice. But you did a good job.
Ellipses: They all look amazing. You're drawing through your ellipses and you didn't rush when ghosting. Sometimes they cross their boundaries but you're doing a great job in general. On the funnels exercise, your ellipses are well aligned to the minor axis but I think you could've changed the degree as you went away from the middle line(like you did with the one on the right), but that's fine.
Boxes: There are one or two issues that I don't think are worth mentioning, as they're all related to your linework ghosting. Good job overall.
Good job, but make sure you keep practicing these exercises as warm ups with a fineliner before every drawing session of yours(like the superimposed/ghosted lines and table of ellipses/funnels).
Next Steps:
Some would say you should do one page of every homework in this lesson over again with a fineliner, but I don't think that way. It's clear that you got the main idea of every lesson. I think you're good to go to the 250 box challenge, just don't get past 70 boxes without a fineliner(it does make a difference, trust me, I also started with a ballpoint pen). And do your warm ups :)
