feedback for quintet of flute and strings

hi everyone i'm a bit of a novice composer and wrote this for an assignment and was wondering if I could get any feedback on my piece before I submit it? i'm mainly wondering if the theme is restated too many times, whether or not it gets too busy at some moments, and if the overall form of the piece is clear, but any other feedback is welcomed. please help if you can!
