@Annett I like it. How about "Confident presentation - effective argument" (taking the term from your - argument ;-). (And how about posting your suggestion as an answer?)

@Bernhard: It's not about equipment ( monitor) but a surveillance authority overseeing a clinical trial --usually one person.

Lirka (asker) Sep 19, 2010:

@Annett, Yes, it is NOT a piece of equipment :)

@ Lirka, I took 'clinical monitor' to mean a watchdog or some such body, rather than a piece of equipment. But is that correct?

Confident presentation → Effective performance Maybe? I like the parallelism in the source text because it suggests that there’s a proportionate relationship between an author’s style of delivery and the persuasiveness of his or her argument/findings: the more confident the presentation, the more effective the argument (basic rhetoric, I guess). Hence my little arrow to show this causal relationship in the seminar title: 'Confident presentation → Effective performance'. But I’m not sure how people feel about symbols in headings.

Hi lirka. do you take the effective conveyance (presentation of facts, explanations) as a consequence of the assured (reliable) monitor (display)?
