It depends upon how you design your questionnaire, how committed you are to improving your skill set as an educator, and how seriously you take your students.

IMO, if you interact with your students, they'll send you clear indications of their progress through improved performance and increased effort.
I think you should take another look at this question. IMO, it strikes at the heart of the dissatisfaction you've expressed with teaching on this BB. If you really believe that students are not qualified to evaluate themselves, then the next question is: What tools are you providing them to do so?
