Good work overall, but you had some problems that are especially apparent on the organic perspective exercise, the main issues are line smoothness and the perspective of the boxes. It seems like you didn't always place dots to plan where the lines should go. It's important that you separate the processes of planning lines, finding the right motion and then make the mark. For each line, you should place a dot like you did for the planes excercise, then ghost that line until you're confident in the motion, and finally placing down a mark using that motion.
I recommend you redo the organic perspective. To prepare, read the first parts of the course about markmaking and lines, maybe read about ghosting again if you were having trouble with that, then do the planes excercise for a couple minutes as a warmup and really focus on making smooth confident lines (Don't be afraid of inaccuracy or overshooting).
When you're redoing them, try some more extreme angles with one face of the cube very thin. Make sure there's a slight convergence on the lines, so that lines going in the same direction will eventually meet eachother if you kept extending them.
Don't worry if the convergence is too much or the lines aren't accurate, you can focus on that throughout the 250 box challenge. Just focus on getting smooth lines and that the lines have convergence (Imagine a vanishing point).
Next Steps:
Read a little about markmaking again, then redo the organic perspectives.

The Redo folder inside Lesson 1 has the redo of Organic Perspective. Also, I've revisited Lesson 1 cause I was busy with something else at the time and needed a fresh start. If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to let me know
If you don't mind I'll check your revisions & continue the critique for you here.
The advice given in previous critique was really important & I can see that in the redo you've plotted each each lines seperately instead of making the process of drawing the box a single step.
I recommend you follow this for other exercises as well(especially in your rough perspective, you've done same mistakes there as well) when doing them in your warm ups.
While it was not mentioned in the previous critique, good work on your ellipses they're smooth & confidently drawn. They will become more tight & clean with regular practice.
In Funnels sometimes your ellipses(in bottom left funnel) are not perpendicular to their minor axis. It can be hard to notice sometime but keep them in mind whenver you do ellipses since future lessons heavily rely on them.
Since your revision is quite late 6 months or so, I suggest spending some time going over the instructions again & doing some of these exercises before moving on to 250 box Challenge.

250 Box Challenge
A lot of my students use these. The last time I used them was when I was in high school, and at the time I felt that they dried out pretty quickly, though I may have simply been mishandling them. As with all pens, make sure you're capping them when they're not in use, and try not to apply too much pressure. You really only need to be touching the page, not mashing your pen into it.
In terms of line weight, the sizes are pretty weird. 08 corresponds to 0.5mm, which is what I recommend for the drawabox lessons, whereas 05 corresponds to 0.45mm, which is pretty close and can also be used.
