In a skid the ball is deflected to the outside of the turn and in a
slip it's to the inside. Since you "step on the ball" with the rudder,
it foillows that a skid occurs when there is too much yaw in the
direction of turn (like a car rear end breaking away) and a slip when
there is not enough.

Hope this helps.

Cheers.
