When Paul came to Shanghai Jiaotong University, he introduced new, interactive teaching techniques that encouraged students to think for themselves and develop their own skills, rather than just memorize the ideas of others. In this, and many other ways, he helped students to learn about Western culture and to thrive in an increasingly international world.
