Congragulations! Enjoy the course and keep up the good work!
Your line work looks pretty good, and they're mostly consistent in boxes as well. They're straight and crisp. But in boxes I think you can improve your line quality a bit more. Always remember to draw confident lines from your shoulders, even the smallest ones.
Your ellipses look a bit wobbly. For this I suggest that you do a few rounds of ghosting and then draw a confident ellipse. Don't draw too fast or too slow, controled lines here. Also always draw over your ellipses 2-3 times. Don't try to draw a perfect ellipse in one go.
Other than the line quality of your boxes, they're a bit repetitive, especially in organic perspective homework. Also you definitely under rotated your boxes in rotating boxes exercise. But nothing major I would say.
Overall your works look pretty good. Good job!! Good luck with 250 box challenge!!
Next Steps:
Draw confident ellipses. Work on your box perspectives and rotations - you'll do that in 250 box challenge anyways so don't worry. And most importantly, enjoy!!

It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Faber Castell PITT Artist Pens
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.
