<p>I’m sorry to say that you’ve pretty much shot yourself in the foot by retaking the final and not passing it. Not many professors are willing to let you retake a final to change your grade. </p>
<p>You and the professor both agreed on having you retake the final and you blew it. That’s not going to go too well in your favor when you appeal for your grade.</p>
<p>Regardless, I wish you the best of luck.</p>
