Possible solutions
Tom can explain to Mr. Alex the cultural importance of one's name in Chinese culture and why it's important for him to be addressed by his Chinese name. He can also provide some background information on the meaning of his name, which can help Mr. Alex better understand and appreciate it. Then, talk to Mr. Alex after class or during office hours and politely let him know that his name is pronounced differently. Provide a phonetic spelling or even demonstrate the correct pronunciation for Mr. Alex.

Lateness and Absences in ClassMary Li is a new ITGL student. Recently, she has been late and absent from a professor's class many times. Her instructor was worried about her, so she communicated with Mary yesterday and figured out it was all about the participation grading policy. At first, Mary couldn't find a parking spot and showed up a minute late, and the teaching assistant marked her as "late." So Mary assumed the teaching assistant did that intentionally and behaved negatively in school. What are your thoughts from an instructor/student perspective?
