Skill Building sessions should be focused on demonstrating and/or teaching specific practical evaluation methods or professional skills. This type of session is not intended for presenting the results of a project or paper. These sessions are similar to workshops, with opportunities for the session attendees to practice a new skill/s with carefully planned exercises or demonstrations.
