Some ellipses look wobbly, this more apparent on the ellipses on planes.
In rough perspective 1 there's visible wobbling in the lines, not as much as on the second page.
The rotated boxes looks pretty spot on, great!
One thing I can suggest for ellipses is for you to start it at different points and/or changing the direction (clockwise, counter clockwise) to see which one tends to give out better results. This is the kind of thing you can do with a pencil, just to get a good feel of the alternatives.

Lines
Really wobbly especially in the boxes, DRAW CONFIDENTLY. Straight strong lines first then work on accuracy
Ellipses
Also incredibly wobbly(refer back to lines) and sometimes in the funnel and plane exercise you drew on loop for your elipses. "Ellipses must be drawn through ellipses 2 to 3 times, (2 times preferably)"(drawabox critique guide).
Boxes
Same issue with lines, however your rotated boxes exercise is good. Also in organic perspective the beginning boxes are way too small, slowly increase the size otherwise the scale is thrown out of order.
Overall
Unfortunately you need to redo lesson 1 again, lesson 1 is to encourage confident strong lines and it seems like this isn't there.

i think you should redo lesson 1.
READ the article thoroughly and understand the video
then start the exercise one by one..don't rush.

How to Draw by Scott Robertson
When it comes to technical drawing, there's no one better than Scott Robertson. I regularly use this book as a reference when eyeballing my perspective just won't cut it anymore. Need to figure out exactly how to rotate an object in 3D space? How to project a shape in perspective? Look no further.
