Welcome to UHH forum. Besides taking the courses, commit yourself to go shooting with what you learned.Then post them here for critique. Be thick skinned as some hogs can be brutal.
The bottom line is have fun. A camera is nothing more than a tool.Do not feel inadequate because you have a point and shoot.

Sorry, I meant using the auto feature.

Sorry, I meant shooting with the automatic setting.

Yes, it is not a point and shoot camera. What I meant is using the automatic setting.

I have lived the retirement life for the last 5 years and now getting heavy to filling my time with useful hobbies. Photography is one that I have been always interested in but now that I have more time I should get more seriously in pursuing this as a hobby. The only camera I have at the present is a Nikon D5000 (don't laugh). I understand that I will have to spend more money to get more serious but for now I have much to learn about my present equipment. I am taking 2 photography courses from The Great Courses and hope to get more proficient than just point and shoot. That's it for now any useful comments are welcome.
