The idea
Peer review is an evaluation of a draft by someone at the writer's own level, guided by the assignment's criteria.
In practice
Almost all strong writers rely on outside readers, whether classmates, instructors, editors or a writing center.
Where people slip
A peer reader is valuable because they are not the writer; they see what the draft says, not what the writer intended.
