peer feedback

Coworker reviews work

Peer feedback is evaluation or commentary provided by equals rather than superiors—classmates reviewing each other's essays, colleagues critiquing presentations, or coworkers assessing performance.

The term appears frequently in educational and workplace contexts where mutual assessment supplements or replaces top-down evaluation: The workshop includes time for peer feedback on draft proposals.
