Narrative: We were accomplishing some pattern work; and did 6 touch and goes.  On the final landing; after landing; the aircraft went into an uncontrollable left-hand skid/veer - pointing the aircraft toward an area of construction consisting of an approximate 10 ft drop-off.  My instructor took control of the situation; preventing a prop strike; and/or a potentially harmful situation.  Safely landing the aircraft on the other side of the construction area after going past the drop-off.  No one was injured in the event. Initially; the aircraft received a damaged nose-wheel pant and was able to be towed to its hangar for inspection.  Due to the limited damage; this was deemed an incident by the instructor and not an accident; no substantial damage was caused to the airplane.


Second narrative: I was giving dual flight instruction to a Student Pilot that was part of our flying club. We were working on pattern work and had a plan to do touch and goes for an hour. We had done 5 touch and go's and his performance had been completely satisfactory. This was going to be the last touch and go for the day and as we were coming in; it was a very stabilized approach and landing until 3-5 seconds after touch down. We had landed on the left half of Runway 1-19 and had about 10-15 more [feet] to the left before we were off the runway. The nose came slightly right and then extremely fast the nose was pointed 45 degrees of the runway to the left. I think what happened was this was the Student Pilot's attempt to correct for the initial drift error of the nose to the right. The overcorrection was so much to the point [it] was unrecoverable by me. When it happened; I pulled the power as we were too slow to attempt a takeoff and I applied full right rudder and right brake to get the airplane to come back to the right onto the runway. It seemed to have no effect and I believe the Student Pilot had frozen his leg on the left rudder/brake; so I had no effect until it was too late. We traveled 20 ft. or so to the left of the runway going approximately 50 miles per hour and I had put considerable back pressure in to keep the nose out of the ground. There was a mound of dirt followed; but an immediate 15 foot drop off we were going towards. We ramped up the mound and we're back in the air and glided about 150 feet further where the airplane came to a stop in some mud. I shut the entire airplane down and we got out to survey the damage. The only visible damage [was] to the nose wheel fairing. There was no substantial damage caused to the aircraft or any other part. I believe that this was unavoidable as soon as the Student Pilot overcorrected for the initial nose drift just due to the violence of the action he took. We both walked away without a scratch and there was visibly no damage to the aircraft. We then had the airplane towed back to its hangar where it is currently.

Second callback: Instructor Pilot reiterated what happened on flight.

Synopsis: Student and Instructor pilots reported an incident where the aircraft landed and them became uncontrollable in a skid.
