One suggestion is to also do your own survey somewhere in the middle of the course. Each group of students is going to be somewhat different and getting feedback early so you can adapt to that particular group is invaluable. Importantly, if you do this, the survey should be incredibly short. One suggestion I got from my father which I tried the last time I was teaching was basically these three questions: 1) What should I keep doing? 2) What should I stop doing? 3) What should I start doing? The goal here is not detailed feedback, but a high response rate that will give you enough data to course correct.
