Other than what others said, I think there is some wobble in your ellipses and boxes as well. And some of the ellipses could be more snug in ellipse tables exercise. These all relate to confidence in your drawing, which I think you'll get down in 250 box challenge. Put all marks with confidence, drawn from the shoulder - small lines for boxes. Get this and accuracy will come overtime. Another minor thing - your dots are too big. Try to put dots that'll disappear in your lines.
Congratulations!! Good luck with 250 box challenge.
Next Steps:
Be conident with your lines and keep practicing. Good luck!!

Hi!
I have a couple of comments:
Superimposed Lines: In this exercise it is important that the line you draw match al least with the initial point. The last one is not that important, since that is what we are learning to do.
Rotating Boxes: There are some boxes that are not really rotating.
There several lines that really wobbly, it is important to build first the confidence of drawing nice lines before drawing accurate one. Although in Organic Perspective this improve a lot.
Great work!

More confidence in your strokes is probably the one thing I can find you could improve on. The first lesson it seems rushed and maybe slowing it down and placing your pen on the dot (or beginning of the line) would help. Rereading the lesson might give better insight and maybe try restricting yourself by using only your wrist or elbow or shoulder when drawing a line to reduce the fluidity when it comes with moving multiple parts of your arm. This is not in the lessons (well im not too far in the first lesson) but try angling and moving your body to feel more comfortable and confident when drawing a line.
*Just note that I am only on the lines lessons so my opinions is a consideration that I believe would improve on the issues I think you should think of.

Staedtler Pigment Liners
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
