For your ghosted lines, most look nice and straight and confident with minimal fraying.
Your funnels are also mostly fine. Make sure the ellipses are touching eachother.
I think you could redo the 1 point rough perspective boxes exercise, since I see you're capable of much cleaner lines!
Make sure you properly plan and use the ghosting method for each of your lines and draw each once, confidently instead of multiple times as taught here
The horizontal lines should be parallel to the horizon line. Maybe focus on that, tackling the converging lines second. It seems you underestimate how steep some of these lines can get, by how far they end up from the vanishing point. check here again
For the plotted perspective exercise, make sure, again, that your vertical lines are parallel to eachother and at a right angle from the horizon line. Also try to keep any lines, even hatching for shading, clean and intentional.
You may need to show the rest of the exercises before the homework is complete, - rotated boxes, organic perspective, planes and ellipses are leaving a very big gap.
Next Steps:
Finish the rest of the assigned exercises, and try to get in more mileage with your boxes. Above all try to make clean confident lines using the ghosting method in all of your work, especially your boxes, and make sure parallel lines/planes are parallel. Read through the relevant lessons again to make sure you've got everything down.
Good work and good luck!!

Thanks for the critique. I’ll redo the rough perspective exercise as you’ve suggested and also keep others in mind while practicing. Thank you.

I redid the rough perspective ….. but ……. It came out way worse than the last one.????????

oohh I can see some things are clicking but there's a lot of the same mistakes. If you want, I can do a little draw-over later today? I feel like I can explain better like that than if I try to explain in words haha

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).
