"Students are usually evaluated as individuals and graded on a curve."

It means each student get a grade but the teacher will take the average of all the grades in the class and add points to each student's grade so their grade will become higher. This is usually done if the test is especially hard and most people didn't get a good grade.

Normally, the grades for a class are marked to follow a bell curve, by properly choosing the cut-off marks for each grade.  In this way, the number of students for each grade is to follow a pre-determined curve.

就是說學生個別衡量，然後按整體分佈評定等級。例如整體分佈只有最高百分之一拿甲等，如果大家分數都很高，那麼就算一個學生分數高,也未必能拿到甲等。等級是相對的，不是絕對的。
