Lines
Superimposed lines
Some slight arching is normal but there is significant arching of your lines. Ensure try that you are drawing mainly from your shoulder. Aside from this your lines seem confident and don't have much wobble.
Ghosted lines
Your lines are confident here - no wobling or hesitation.
Ghosted planes
Same as above, clean, condifdent lines.
Ellipses
Table of ellipses
The ellipses should be kept within the bounds, each ellipse touching each other, without overlapping. You should be aiming to draw the same ellipses with the same degree, size degree and angle within the same row (not size if row is segmented). Also, do not draw ellipses with ellipses.
Ellipses in planes
It seems you struggled to figure out the shape of some of the ellipses within the plane. Ensure you ghost until you are confident in the shape you want to make.
Funnels
Ellipses should be getting 'thinner' as they approach the centre line to simulate the rotation of the ellipses by the change in its degree indicated by a shorter minor axis. It seems you have drawn ellipses with the same minor axis.

Boxes
Plotted perspective
Clean and neat lines. No issues here.
Rough perspective
Just in general, width lines should be parallel to horizon and height lines perpendicular to horizon. Keeping this in mind will help avoid wonky lines. In terms if accuracy, make sure to ghost toward the vanishing point and look toward it when drawing the edge.
Rotated boxes
You have done this exercise well. Only thing is tha some lines are a bit wobbly other than that well done.
Organic perspective
It seems that you are uncertain of how to construct boxes here which is fine as you will move onto the 250 box challenege and will better understand how to approach it but because of this some of your lines are wobbly, repeated and uncertaine. Despite this you have been able to convey the sense that the boxes are in a 3D space within the frames by scaling up the size of the boxes as they approach the viewer.
All in all, well done for completing Lesson 1 and good luck moving forward!
Next Steps:
Continue on to the 250 box challenge!
Thanks a lot! I'll make sure to keep all of that in mind from now on and try to correct those mistakes.
Rapid Viz is a book after mine own heart, and exists very much in the same spirit of the concepts that inspired Drawabox. It's all about getting your ideas down on the page, doing so quickly and clearly, so as to communicate them to others. These skills are not only critical in design, but also in the myriad of technical and STEM fields that can really benefit from having someone who can facilitate getting one person's idea across to another.
Where Drawabox focuses on developing underlying spatial thinking skills to help facilitate that kind of communication, Rapid Viz's quick and dirty approach can help students loosen up and really move past the irrelevant matters of being "perfect" or "correct", and focus instead on getting your ideas from your brain, onto the page, and into someone else's brain as efficiently as possible.
