Perform it once or twice right after you get home from class. The drive home will start pushing the kata out of your short-term memory. Doing this will bring it back to the short-term, which reinforces the memory. The brain is kind of like a search engine. The more "hits" a particular memory gets, the more likely it will end up as a long-term memory that is easily recalled.

Also, practice it in stages. Start with the first three or four moves. Once you have those, add another. Keep doing this until you've completed the kata. You'll find one move following another easily.
